Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - DOJ ARRESTS Leftist Over Tesla FIREBOMB, MORE Trump Supporters SWATTED Today w-Cnosky | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:24.000 This individual apparently threw a Molotov cocktail into a Tesla showroom, which is crazy because I'm not sure we got that initial report.

00:00:32.000 Two more prominent Trump supporters were swatted today in the wee hours of the morning, so it certainly seems like, yes, these things are continuing or escalating.

00:00:40.000 Kash Patel, director of the FBI, based, issued a statement saying, we're aware and we are going to go after these people full force.

00:00:49.000 So I look forward to some real justice in this country.

00:00:52.000 It's going to be hard, though, because you've got people like Bill Burr calling for more violence, or I should say, to be fair, advocating for those who murder.

00:01:00.000 We'll put it that way.

00:01:01.000 And saying they should be freed.

00:01:04.000 When he yelled, free Luigi for a second time.

00:01:06.000 And went on, I think it was on The Breakfast Club, where he said if this country was run his way, he'd shut down Fox News, CNN, and ban people from commenting on the internet.

00:01:15.000 I get the point he's trying to make, but this dude supports murderers.

00:01:19.000 It is insane to the point where this guy is outright supporting murderers and saying people shouldn't be allowed to have speech and discuss these things.

00:01:28.000 That's where the typical left tends to fall.

00:01:31.000 Understand, Bill Burr.

00:01:33.000 It's not one of these guys in the street throwing Molotov cocktails.

00:01:35.000 He is a prominent mainstream celebrity.

00:01:37.000 So when we say things like the left is violent, it's not because we think literally every liberal is violent.

00:01:42.000 It's because prominent personalities of liberal persuasion are calling for it, defending or advocating for it while people on the ground do it.

00:01:49.000 You don't have that thing on the right.

00:01:51.000 We got a couple of the really big stories that are funny.

00:01:54.000 A Democratic congressman.

00:01:55.000 He was a Democrat, right?

00:01:56.000 I want to make sure I got that one right.

00:01:58.000 Attacked Doge. 0.76

00:02:00.000 From beyond the grave.

00:02:02.000 That's right.

00:02:03.000 Somehow, despite the fact that he was dead, he posted this screed on social media.

00:02:09.000 Shocking how those things can happen.

00:02:11.000 Perhaps our politicians aren't really our politicians.

00:02:13.000 And then probably my...

00:02:15.000 We got a couple other fun stories.

00:02:16.000 How about this one?

00:02:18.000 CNN had dead air for about a minute because the network is so trashed they didn't realize they were broadcasting for a minute with no sound.

00:02:25.000 That one isn't really the biggest story, but it's kind of funny.

00:02:27.000 And Anonymous...

00:02:29.000 Has taken responsibility for taking down Snapchat and X, and liberals are questioning Anonymous.

00:02:38.000 I just want everyone to know, there is no such group as Anonymous.

00:02:41.000 It does not exist.

00:02:43.000 And the fact that liberals think a random video uploaded to TikTok, in fact, is a declaration from a hacker organization to take down global infrastructure, shows exactly the kind of people they are and how much they actually pay attention to the news.

00:02:55.000 So we'll talk about all this before we get started, my friends.

00:02:57.000 We're going to go to our great sponsor.

00:05:07.000 You're gonna love it.

00:05:08.000 Uncensored conversations and...

00:05:11.000 You know, I've had a lot of prominent people in media say of me behind my back, but publicly, so not really, that I have a problem with being too honest.

00:05:23.000 Right?

00:05:24.000 So I'm willing to tell you what I think of the businesses of other people in the space, whether it's right, wrong, or how much money they probably make.

00:05:33.000 And a lot of people don't like it.

00:05:35.000 So I'm just saying, some of those conversations happen.

00:05:38.000 And people get mad at me for this stuff, but, you know, whatever.

00:05:40.000 I'm going to say what I feel like saying.

00:05:41.000 Don't forget to smash that like button.

00:05:43.000 Share the show with literally everyone on the planet.

00:05:46.000 Like, you right now, friend everyone on Facebook, all billion, or whatever, and send them this.

00:05:51.000 Okay, I'm kidding.

00:05:52.000 But share the show.

00:05:53.000 It really does help.

00:05:54.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Chris Noski.

00:05:58.000 Howdy, howdy. 0.99

00:05:59.000 Great to be here.

00:06:00.000 How are you guys doing?

00:06:01.000 I'm doing great.

00:06:03.000 Who are you?

00:06:03.000 What do you do?

00:06:04.000 I am C. Noski.

00:06:06.000 I am from the Discord.

00:06:07.000 I am first and foremost very happy to be here.

00:06:11.000 Very happy to be here for what is now the two-year anniversary of your Discord.

00:06:15.000 I don't know if you knew that.

00:06:15.000 Two-year anniversary?

00:06:16.000 What a perfect day.

00:06:17.000 Pi Day!

00:06:18.000 Well, technically it was the 16th, but I mean, there was Troubles.

00:06:22.000 We'll just go with two years.

00:06:23.000 We call those The Troubles on the Discord.

00:06:25.000 The Troubles.

00:06:26.000 But more importantly, I am from the Quiet Part podcast.

00:06:30.000 You can find me, RumbleX, and YouTube for that purpose.

00:06:34.000 And this is a show that...

00:06:36.000 It was more or less born out of your Discord.

00:06:39.000 Very cool.

00:06:40.000 Yeah, so we also had Roma Nation on a few weeks ago, and what we do is we have a Discord server.

00:06:47.000 It's a community where you can hang out with like-minded individuals.

00:06:50.000 Go to timcast.com.

00:06:51.000 You click join us, you sign up.

00:06:53.000 This fine gentleman here, Mr. Noski, started a podcast from the Discord, and now he is here to promote it and join us on the show.

00:07:00.000 So thank you for hanging out.

00:07:01.000 Well, thanks for having me again.

00:07:02.000 You got a lot of great people in the Discord.

00:07:04.000 You got...

00:07:04.000 Other shows, Joey Canole, Outworld Live, Tyler Today News, all great things happening.

00:07:09.000 They have a different spin than what you would see on my show or even your show.

00:07:13.000 And I think for culture building, that's the best thing ever.

00:07:16.000 Agreed.

00:07:17.000 And we're going to get them on as well.

00:07:18.000 So thanks for hanging out.

00:07:19.000 Should be fun.

00:07:19.000 Brett is hanging out.

00:07:20.000 Guys, it is Brett.

00:07:22.000 Pop culture crisis normally Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

00:07:25.000 You should go subscribe over there as well.

00:07:27.000 But let's get into it tonight.

00:07:28.000 Hello, everybody.

00:07:29.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:07:30.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:07:32.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:07:34.000 Let's go.

00:07:35.000 Here's the story.

00:07:36.000 We have this tweet from Nick Sorter.

00:07:37.000 Breaking.

00:07:38.000 Pam Bondi announces an arrest has been made for throwing a Molotov cocktail into a Tesla showroom.

00:07:44.000 Let's roll the clip.

00:07:46.000 This is from Fox Business earlier.

00:07:47.000 We have people.

00:07:48.000 We're locking up on that.

00:07:49.000 We have someone in jail right now from one of the dealerships.

00:07:52.000 They threw a Molotov cocktail through a dealership.

00:07:55.000 They're looking at up to 20 years in prison.

00:07:57.000 So if you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out because we're coming after you.

00:08:03.000 And if you're funding this, we're coming after you.

00:08:06.000 We're going to find out who you are.

00:08:09.000 Wow.

00:08:10.000 There's a lot of the framing that... 0.99

00:08:14.000 The administration is doing things that I like and I agree with, but their messaging is just garbage sometimes. 0.77

00:08:20.000 This isn't about Tesla. 0.73

00:08:22.000 Tesla's the target.

00:08:23.000 But the reason these people are getting arrested is because it's actual terrorism.

00:08:28.000 Not because, oh, you're going after Tesla.

00:08:30.000 It should be because you're engaging in terrorism.

00:08:33.000 The point is to make people afraid of either buying Tesla, and it's because of Musk's work.

00:08:39.000 It's actually...

00:08:40.000 The point is to make people afraid of supporting Elon Musk's work and Doge's work.

00:08:44.000 And that's the whole point.

00:08:45.000 So you think that her messaging here was actually poorly phrased?

00:08:48.000 Yes.

00:08:49.000 And they're also...

00:08:50.000 This might be a topic they'll be talking about later, but the guy that's being sent back, I think he's a Palestinian activist and stuff like that.

00:08:57.000 Mahmoud.

00:08:58.000 Yeah, like all of this stuff, it's like, oh, blah, blah, blah.

00:09:00.000 It's anti-Semitism in there.

00:09:02.000 He's attacking the Jews and blah, blah, blah.

00:09:03.000 It's like, that's not good enough reason to send someone back.

00:09:06.000 He's actually broken the law.

00:09:09.000 That's why he's getting sent back, because he's taken over...

00:09:13.000 Places on college campuses.

00:09:15.000 Being like, oh, well, he said something anti-Semitic.

00:09:17.000 You can be anti-Semitic in America, and that's legal. 1.00

00:09:20.000 That's perfectly fine.

00:09:21.000 But it's like, he's anti-West.

00:09:23.000 He's totally against American.

00:09:25.000 Bring it down to a simmer.

00:09:26.000 And then maybe be like, alright. 0.81

00:09:29.000 Oh, what the hell?

00:09:30.000 I love it.

00:09:32.000 Twitter does that.

00:09:34.000 Does that all the time.

00:09:36.000 We'll mute the whole of Twitter.

00:09:37.000 It'll always happen at, like, the most important point of your inflection, too.

00:09:40.000 It's like, yes! 1.00

00:09:42.000 And this is the most important thing, and then Bill Burr comes on saying stupid-ish. 1.00

00:09:45.000 Stupid Bill. 1.00

00:09:46.000 Stupid Bill. 1.00

00:09:47.000 I mean, the point is, their messaging sucks, and I don't know if it's that they're trying to placate certain groups or whatever, but it's like, look, you can't... 1.00

00:09:57.000 Just throw people in jail because they don't like Israel or because they're saying anti-Semitic things. 0.95

00:10:02.000 You can't throw people in jail because they don't like Tesla.

00:10:06.000 If you firebomb a place, for 20 years you can go to jail for actual terrorism. 0.99

00:10:13.000 So they're doing substantial things that are okay and right, but their messaging about it is just trash. 0.52

00:10:20.000 They're capitalizing on the fact that for the past 40 years with the Department of Education, we haven't been educating kids. 0.87

00:10:26.000 So that way, when they do their messaging, it has to be dumbed down to such an extent that nobody actually knows that this is terrorism.

00:10:33.000 A lot of it is also is like what headline is going to grab them the biggest headline for a lot of this stuff.

00:10:38.000 And typical crime headlines aren't going to grab the same type of attention that stuff related to anti-Semitism and things like that are.

00:10:44.000 I don't think they do.

00:10:45.000 But terrorism does.

00:10:46.000 I mean, even then, I don't know if that's necessarily going to grab the same headlines.

00:10:50.000 People love arguing about wedge issues in identity politics more than just talking about terrorism.

00:10:57.000 Maybe you're right, but I hate it.

00:10:58.000 Yeah.

00:10:59.000 I'm with you.

00:11:00.000 I mean, take that a step further.

00:11:01.000 We spent the last four years where places like California and New York, if you shoplifted, which has always been a crime, right?

00:11:08.000 Yep.

00:11:08.000 Where you shoplift and it's under $1,000?

00:11:11.000 Yeah, we don't care.

00:11:12.000 Yeah.

00:11:13.000 At what point did the laws not matter?

00:11:15.000 To where we can dumb everything down like this.

00:11:17.000 Was the case you were talking about, the one at Columbia where they were talking about revoking diplomas?

00:11:24.000 Yeah, he got wrapped up by the feds.

00:11:29.000 And they're articulating it poorly.

00:11:32.000 They're saying you can't be anti-Semitic on school campuses and blah, blah, blah.

00:11:36.000 And it's like, look, that stuff is protected by the First Amendment, right?

00:11:39.000 And the First Amendment doesn't protect...

00:11:41.000 The First Amendment is a limit on what the government is allowed to do.

00:11:45.000 So it's not like, oh, you know, it's to protect people's free speech.

00:11:50.000 It's saying, look, the federal government can't take action against you because you have an opinion that's unpopular.

00:11:55.000 That's the point of it.

00:11:56.000 I'm going to pause here.

00:11:57.000 Say that one more time.

00:11:58.000 Because I think this is something a lot of people also don't understand.

00:12:01.000 It's a limit on what?

00:12:02.000 It's a limit on the federal government.

00:12:04.000 That's what the whole Bill of Rights is.

00:12:05.000 You know, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment.

00:12:08.000 It's all things the government is specifically, specifically prohibited from doing.

00:12:14.000 And you could say that given her messaging here, it actually is horrible, given that a lot of people feel that Trump and Elon Musk's connection is too extensive to begin with.

00:12:24.000 So framing it as we're coming after you because...

00:12:27.000 You're hurting a Tesla dealership rather than the fact that you're just committing crimes in general actually sends the wrong message to the people that are already against you.

00:12:36.000 You know, how would the Trump administration do better, right?

00:12:41.000 Pam Bondi is Pam Bondi.

00:12:42.000 She's going to issue statements.

00:12:44.000 Should she be giving the press release to a more savvy communicator?

00:12:48.000 Meaning like influencers to put out through social media?

00:12:52.000 Yes, people who can articulate it better than that.

00:12:54.000 I mean, most of the time I feel like it comes back to what the headline ends up being for most of this stuff anyways.

00:13:00.000 So the hard truth is that when you're in media, you go out of your way a lot of times to find a very, very heavy headline that is then articulated with more nuance in the actual article or the point of discussion.

00:13:14.000 And whatever grabs headlines the most, when you're a media company, you're at the whim of needing to make money off of your headlines.

00:13:21.000 And sometimes that does a disservice to the actual discussion.

00:13:24.000 I don't think that it's her ability to articulate the idea because I think that she's articulating what she wants to – The message that she wants to get across, well, I think that the message that they decided to push forward, to put to the front, is a bad message.

00:13:44.000 So somebody should have been there to correct her.

00:13:46.000 Specifically on Tesla.

00:13:48.000 On Tesla and on the Hamas sympathizer guy.

00:13:52.000 I'm all for kicking that dude out. 1.00

00:13:54.000 If you don't love America and you come here and you got a green card and you hate the country and you want to help destroy Western society, beat it. 0.99

00:14:02.000 I have no problem with that.

00:14:05.000 There's legal channels.

00:14:06.000 I mean, if she wants to reach out and contract me for that service, I mean, I'll be happy to say the quiet part out loud for them.

00:14:13.000 That's very kind of you.

00:14:15.000 But, I mean, again, I don't think that the problem is the policy.

00:14:22.000 It's all the messaging, I think.

00:14:24.000 I don't think any of it matters.

00:14:25.000 We did the culture war this morning with a pro and anti-Doge fellers, and I'm just like, the left has wielded unchecked power.

00:14:35.000 Here's an example for you.

00:14:37.000 Jenna Ellis being criminally charged with racketeering in Georgia.

00:14:39.000 She's a lawyer. 0.86

00:14:40.000 She was representing a client.

00:14:44.000 Imagine if a guy, like, robs a liquor store and then gets arrested for it and then is like, I'm going to go get a lawyer.

00:14:52.000 So he gets a lawyer and then the police arrest the lawyer for aiding and abetting a criminal.

00:14:56.000 That's what they did with Jenna Ellis.

00:14:58.000 That's how psychotic the left was, the liberals were.

00:15:02.000 It doesn't matter what Pam Bondi says. 0.99

00:15:05.000 She could say Donald Trump is going to go out personally with a rifle and defend Tesla dealerships.

00:15:12.000 She could say we're deploying the National Guard.

00:15:15.000 It doesn't matter.

00:15:16.000 The left is going to keep doing what they do no matter what.

00:15:20.000 They're going to attack different locations.

00:15:22.000 They will escalate.

00:15:24.000 I mean, I already elected him once.

00:15:27.000 You don't need to sell me on it.

00:15:29.000 Donald Trump's going to go march down Fifth Avenue himself to protect the streets and small businesses.

00:15:34.000 The left would love that, actually.

00:15:35.000 But in all seriousness, whatever the message is, the left doesn't care because they know.

00:15:41.000 And it's fascinating to me that it's actually the right that doesn't seem to get this.

00:15:46.000 My point is, when we were having this debate in the morning on Doge, you have a guy who's like, Elon Musk is a threat to our democracy.

00:15:57.000 Because he's going in and they're firing people and it's not allowed.

00:16:01.000 And I'm just like, bro, if you really want to play the game of what's a threat to our democracy, the list of what the left did over the past four years is so long that it's almost, almost a CVS receipt.

00:16:14.000 Oh my goodness.

00:16:16.000 At this point, though, the Constitution is a threat to their democracy.

00:16:20.000 Indeed.

00:16:22.000 And most of the time when you see this stuff come up, they take advantage of the ignorance of the average everyday person who falls under default liberal belief systems where maybe they're not politically inclined, but they've been living in America, which has been, for the most part, becoming increasingly liberal over the last 20 years, or at least it seems that way laid into Obama's terms.

00:16:45.000 And they take advantage of the fact that if you ask them right now, who is more likely to commit acts of political violence?

00:16:53.000 I think we're headed towards a civil war.

00:17:02.000 Shocking.

00:17:03.000 I wanted to make sure I got the buzzwords in as quickly as possible, because it's 16 minutes and I felt like, you know, a bang was going to burst in my forehead.

00:17:09.000 You asked the question.

00:17:10.000 I'm going to get people drunk too.

00:17:11.000 It's Friday night?

00:17:12.000 Let's go.

00:17:13.000 You said like you don't think it matters because they know anyways, right?

00:17:16.000 And then that's the type of thing where Mary said on the show today, like we were live, she's like, why are you trying to put logic onto something that has no logic behind it?

00:17:23.000 Exactly.

00:17:24.000 A lot of people in this space, maybe it's because you're constantly putting your ideas out there and you're kind of wrestling with them on air that it's your job in a way to try and bring logic to something that may not have anything to it, but...

00:17:35.000 I want you all to imagine a podcast where Phil Labonte...

00:17:39.000 He's sitting in a chair, and across from him is a vampire and a zombie.

00:17:44.000 And the vampire is going, I'm going to drink people's blood, no matter what.

00:17:48.000 And then Phil's like, but you shouldn't do that.

00:17:51.000 That violates the Constitution.

00:17:52.000 And he's like, sure.

00:17:54.000 And then the zombie goes, that's what it is.

00:17:57.000 That's what we're doing.

00:17:58.000 The zombie is going to do its thing.

00:18:00.000 You're never convincing it.

00:18:01.000 And the vampire's like, bro, this is what I am and this is what I want.

00:18:05.000 There's not arguing with the impulse of the vampire.

00:18:08.000 So I hope that was enjoyable for all of you. 0.99

00:18:11.000 The Democrats are either vampires or zombies. 0.98

00:18:15.000 I think to be fair, I mean, that was probably poor. 0.99

00:18:19.000 I didn't want to get too esoteric with it, but I'll put it this way. 0.95

00:18:22.000 The Democrats are more like there's liches and they're undead servants.

00:18:30.000 And so the liches raise the zombies up and are conscious but evil.

00:18:37.000 But there's few of them, and they have a lot of zombies you can't argue with.

00:18:41.000 So you're talking about a new video game idea, right?

00:18:44.000 Yes.

00:18:45.000 There you go.

00:18:45.000 And it's Donald Trump fighting the Lich King.

00:18:48.000 And it's Joe Biden.

00:18:50.000 That'd be so good.

00:18:51.000 Joe Biden would definitely be an undead king.

00:18:53.000 And Trin and I shop at a pressure is the spell where he raised, Trin and I shop at a pressure!

00:18:58.000 And then all the zombies come out of the ground.

00:19:00.000 Perfect. 0.57

00:19:00.000 But what I mean is when I get silly with it is... 0.57

00:19:05.000 When you're talking to these Democrat personalities that are like, Elon Musk is a threat to our democracy, Trump was found guilty, liable of rape or whatever, it's like, bro, I know you know that's BS. It's like, you know that New York didn't have any evidence and you would never in any other circumstance take a 30-year-old allegation with no evidence and claim it was true.

00:19:29.000 But because it's Trump, you do.

00:19:31.000 Why are we arguing with someone who is willing to go to that extent?

00:19:34.000 Let's just pause there.

00:19:35.000 Kamala Harris and Joe Biden helped raise money for the defense of rioters in the 2020 riots where 30-plus people were murdered.

00:19:44.000 I shouldn't say murdered.

00:19:45.000 30-plus people died.

00:19:46.000 I think like 20-some-odd murders.

00:19:47.000 You had firebombing of the White House grounds.

00:19:50.000 You had firebombing of St. John's Church.

00:19:52.000 D.C. was ablaze.

00:19:53.000 And Democrats know and do not care.

00:19:56.000 And Republicans keep going like, why don't we warn them?

00:20:00.000 Bro, if Pam Bondi comes out and she goes, we will use all force necessary in order to defend Tesla dealerships and small businesses, the left...

00:20:13.000 Is not going to care.

00:20:15.000 Yeah, they don't.

00:20:16.000 They destroyed...

00:20:16.000 So, in Minnesota, where I'm from, I watched businesses get burnt down and then put up signs complaining about getting burned down despite the fact that they were part of the very system for all of the places that ended up causing that to happen.

00:20:30.000 One of the things that was happening is graffiti was being done on all of the businesses in Uptown.

00:20:37.000 And the city would come in and say, if you don't cover up the graffiti yourself...

00:20:41.000 We are going to come in and do it for you, and it's going to cost you $700.

00:20:45.000 We're going to tax you to do that.

00:20:47.000 And all of them put up signs saying, basically, please don't graffiti our building.

00:20:53.000 We can't afford to pay it.

00:20:54.000 The problem is, is all of those same people voted for exactly what they were getting in that area, and you can't convince them otherwise.

00:21:01.000 They don't understand, or they're just not intelligent enough to see the...

00:21:06.000 Well, I mean, they're voting...

00:21:09.000 They're not voting for those things.

00:21:11.000 They're voting to allow those things.

00:21:13.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:21:14.000 They're voting to put themselves in that position.

00:21:17.000 But the point that I'm making is when they're actually casting their vote, that's not what they're thinking about, obviously.

00:21:22.000 They're not thinking, oh, I want...

00:21:24.000 I want to have a DA or I want this local government to not prosecute crime.

00:21:31.000 It's just crazy to me that the more times you go, as many times as you can go through it, that it doesn't cross your mind the next time you go to the ballot box.

00:21:38.000 It has to be tangible for people.

00:21:41.000 It has to be personal.

00:21:42.000 It has to be something that actually hurts them individually.

00:21:46.000 And it has to be recent.

00:21:47.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:21:49.000 We have a tweet from Kat Turd.

00:21:51.000 You heard it.

00:21:51.000 His name is Cat Turd.

00:21:53.000 Cat Turd, for those that don't know, he's a very prominent Trump supporter, despite his silly name. 0.97

00:21:57.000 He has 3.6 million followers. 0.94

00:21:59.000 He tweeted, I was just swatted again for the fourth time.

00:22:02.000 As I tweeted earlier, I live in the middle of nowhere and know all the cops here.

00:22:05.000 They knew what it was immediately and just called me and sent one officer who had a great conversation with a really nice guy.

00:22:11.000 I have the number they called from and will turn all the info over to the FBI today.

00:22:15.000 My two swatters are sitting in prison.

00:22:17.000 My last two swatters are sitting in prison right now.

00:22:19.000 This new one will be joining them soon.

00:22:21.000 Oh yeah, never shutting up, and this doesn't faze me one bit.

00:22:24.000 We also have this from Mike Engelman, who said at 5 in the morning, Good morning, everyone.

00:22:28.000 Imagine my shocked face when I was woken up at 1.30 a.m.

00:22:31.000 by law enforcement standing in front of my home locked and loaded after a swatting attempt.

00:22:35.000 I'm a nobody living in a sleepy community of 2,800 people.

00:22:38.000 sleepless night in Southern Indiana.

00:22:40.000 Sheriff Department and State Police arrived at my home a little after 1.30 in this morning.

00:22:44.000 They rang the doorbell, started my Wi-Fi, got up, went to the door, saw someone on my front porch, turned the outside lights on and noticed county sheriff deputies and state police locked and loaded.

00:22:52.000 A 911 caller with an 869 area code reported that I was holding people hostage at gunpoint in my house and that he had shot, he says, shot and killed his daughter, who's upstairs.

00:23:01.000 The weird thing was the 911 caller was still on the line with dispatch providing false information while the cops with the cops as they were talking to me.

00:23:10.000 We don't have an upstairs.

00:23:11.000 My daughter hasn't lived here in over 20 years.

00:23:13.000 Wow.

00:23:14.000 Once assured everything was fine, I said this is what they call swatting.

00:23:18.000 Explained it to them.

00:23:18.000 They asked if I had any idea who would do this, and I said no.

00:23:21.000 Did inform them that it's happening all over America.

00:23:23.000 I asked them to please find out who it was.

00:23:25.000 I was assured they would.

00:23:26.000 Well, I'm sorry, they can't.

00:23:28.000 It took a bit to calm my wife down. 1.00

00:23:30.000 She has a heart condition, but it's all good now.

00:23:31.000 Godspeed.

00:23:32.000 I have a great relationship with local law enforcement in the area, and I know all the cops.

00:23:35.000 Needless to say, I didn't sleep at all afterwards.

00:23:37.000 I kept wondering who would do this to a small, sleepy community.

00:23:40.000 Well, good, sir.

00:23:41.000 You have got 220,000 followers on X. That's why.

00:23:46.000 Kash Patel, FBI director, tweeted this this morning.

00:23:49.000 I want to address the alarming rise of swatting incidents targeting media figures.

00:23:53.000 The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.

00:24:01.000 This isn't about politics.

00:24:02.000 Weaponizing law enforcement against any American is not only morally reprehensible, but also endangers lives, including those of our officers.

00:24:09.000 That will not be tolerated.

00:24:10.000 We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these crimes.

00:24:14.000 More updates to come.

00:24:16.000 The reason why I say they can't is that most of the time, I'll put it this way, there was a swatter who was arrested.

00:24:24.000 Jeremy from the quartering said, they got my swatter.

00:24:26.000 I had journalists tell me, Tim, that was your swatter.

00:24:29.000 I say, that's not true.

00:24:30.000 I believe the man they arrested was essentially a hitman.

00:24:34.000 That is, people who wanted a swatting done would outsource it to an individual, provide the information, he would make the phone call.

00:24:41.000 So that technically makes him the swatter, but it mostly makes him just the hatchet man.

00:24:46.000 I want to know who provided the information and directed him to do it.

00:24:50.000 Taking that, stopping that guy does not stop the harassment at all. 0.98

00:24:54.000 So when people, it may be that someone was stupid enough to do this wave of swattings across the country with their own phone number. 0.99

00:25:02.000 Really doubt it. 0.98

00:25:03.000 They could easily, in many ways, get phone numbers, and the worst thing is, it could be AI voices generated from apps, and people are doing it overseas.

00:25:12.000 So it is very, very difficult to find out who is doing this.

00:25:16.000 I think they will find some of these people, but like I mentioned, The people they arrest aren't actually the core individuals' guidance information for the most part.

00:25:25.000 So we shall see.

00:25:27.000 We shall see.

00:25:28.000 But I'm glad everyone is okay.

00:25:30.000 I think that with the wave of videos we've seen on social media, TikTok, X, wherever, not so much X, where these people are just screaming, do it, over and over again, and it is implied everybody following them knows what it means.

00:25:45.000 Look, it's one thing when one guy goes online and says, I'm going to or someone should do thing, right?

00:25:52.000 The police go and arrest them or the person gets banned.

00:25:54.000 What we have now is a zeitgeist.

00:25:57.000 It is a trend.

00:25:58.000 It is the modern leftist culture.

00:26:01.000 It is the liberal establishment.

00:26:04.000 I'm not talking about politicians.

00:26:05.000 I'm saying in the core of liberal social orthodoxy right now, the viral trend is calling for terrorist action and assassinations.

00:26:15.000 Now we're seeing these swattings.

00:26:17.000 I believe these swattings are an outpouring of...

00:26:19.000 You've got tens of millions or hundreds of millions of views already on people posting videos screaming, do it, and things like that.

00:26:27.000 Or people like Bill Burr saying...

00:26:29.000 Let me tell you about Bill Burr, and then we'll get into this in a second.

00:26:32.000 Bill Burr said people should do bad thing to insert individuals.

00:26:36.000 He then said free Luigi.

00:26:38.000 He is advocating for...

00:26:40.000 To millions of people.

00:26:42.000 And you need to understand, Bill Burr is not a random Twitter personality, a random social media guy whose name is Dogfart.

00:26:47.000 He is a high-profile liberal comedian on primetime television shows and some of the world's largest podcasts.

00:26:55.000 He represents your average liberal, not leftist progressive.

00:26:59.000 And he's calling for murder explicitly.

00:27:02.000 Bill Burr explicitly called for murder and assassination.

00:27:05.000 I'm not kidding.

00:27:07.000 Now you are seeing the lowest tier of this.

00:27:09.000 I said it yesterday.

00:27:10.000 I said it the day before.

00:27:11.000 This summer is going to be messed up.

00:27:12.000 So everyone, please take your security seriously.

00:27:16.000 Yeah, I mean, everyone should obviously take their security seriously.

00:27:21.000 I think that, you know, again, the problem that arises when it comes to this kind of swatting stuff is you're not going to defend yourself against the police.

00:27:32.000 That leads to you getting...

00:27:35.000 Killed. 0.99

00:27:35.000 That's all there is to it. 0.99

00:27:38.000 That's not the issue at all.

00:27:40.000 The issue is you need to, if you are at high risk, if you are a media personality with a degree of followers, you call the local police department and say, I want to make you guys aware there's a series of swattings that are happening across the country, presumably coming from liberal-aligned individuals that have been calling for murder and death.

00:27:58.000 They may call you with false reports regarding me, etc.

00:28:01.000 This is the first thing you do.

00:28:04.000 Look, this guy, Mike, has a couple hundred thousand followers.

00:28:08.000 Not nothing.

00:28:09.000 But it's not like he's captured with 3.6, right?

00:28:13.000 They are targeting a lot of people.

00:28:16.000 That is the purpose of terrorism.

00:28:17.000 I remember when we had these big terror alerts back in the 2000s.

00:28:21.000 Not that I believe the Bush administration.

00:28:23.000 But they mentioned that the high alerts were for rural and small towns.

00:28:28.000 Because terrorists want to target not big areas, small areas.

00:28:33.000 Because they want people, when it comes to terror, when it comes to the left, the reason why during the Summer of Love they went to small towns is because if they stay in big cities, people who live in small towns feel safe.

00:28:45.000 They feel like if I get away from the cities, I'll be safe.

00:28:47.000 So the far-left extremists explicitly went to small towns, smashed up windows and businesses and things like this.

00:28:52.000 I don't know how much of that was just more of emergent outpouring versus organization.

00:28:59.000 My point is simply...

00:29:01.000 If you have a small amount of followers relative to other people, they may target you because they want everyone on the right to be terrified.

00:29:08.000 Well, yeah, the whole point of terrorism in that respect is you get people to change their behaviors.

00:29:12.000 And if somebody says, look, I've got this many thousand followers and I've got this thing to say and something like this happens, they may think twice before posting something at some point.

00:29:20.000 And that's a very, very easy way to get somebody to change their behavior, change their habits.

00:29:25.000 Well, I think summer's gonna get hot.

00:29:27.000 And we went through it.

00:29:27.000 I mean, we went through this at the old location.

00:29:31.000 Oh, like it was literally the first time it happened.

00:29:34.000 I was literally walking back inside and then we had guns on us.

00:29:38.000 Me and Andy back then.

00:29:40.000 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:29:41.000 You and Andy, the cops pointed guns at you.

00:29:43.000 And then you were like, what did you do?

00:29:44.000 Like you walked forward with your hands up or something?

00:29:46.000 Oh, yeah.

00:29:46.000 Wow, that was crazy.

00:29:47.000 And as soon as we talked to them, we knew exactly what it was because we know what swatting is.

00:29:51.000 They didn't understand what it was.

00:29:53.000 Right.

00:29:53.000 It was kind of funny, though, because if you swat some dude at his house, this is what happens.

00:29:59.000 They get a megaphone.

00:30:01.000 They're at the house.

00:30:01.000 Come out with your hands up.

00:30:02.000 The people come out backwards. 0.98

00:30:03.000 They walk backwards.

00:30:05.000 When we got swatted the first time...

00:30:06.000 It's a 10,000 square foot building on top of a hill with employees walking around doing things.

00:30:12.000 And the cops pull up and they're like, what are all these guys walking around doing?

00:30:15.000 What did he do?

00:30:16.000 He had his gun out of the car or something, right?

00:30:18.000 Yeah, they were over the hang of the door.

00:30:21.000 The door was open.

00:30:23.000 And me and Andrew were like, what the hell is going on?

00:30:26.000 Wow.

00:30:26.000 And then what did he tell you to do?

00:30:28.000 We walked towards him very slowly.

00:30:30.000 With your hands up?

00:30:31.000 Yeah, and as soon as he started explaining to us what was going on, I was like, okay, they're upstairs doing a show right now, and this is not real, but what do you even do?

00:30:40.000 That was before we had armed security.

00:30:44.000 Right.

00:30:44.000 And now we do!

00:30:45.000 Yes.

00:30:46.000 And they have guns.

00:30:48.000 And there's a series of things you can do to mitigate swattings that I won't say publicly, because...

00:30:55.000 For obvious reasons, you don't want to upend your security.

00:30:57.000 One thing I have no problem saying, though, is you are largely SWAT proof if you are hiring a private security company.

00:31:07.000 Most people can't do that.

00:31:09.000 It's ridiculously expensive.

00:31:10.000 They're not targeting people who are at a large compound with tons of employees who have armed security on the premise.

00:31:16.000 All of these people have something in common.

00:31:18.000 I was at home in a small town with my wife and kids.

00:31:21.000 And again, like I said before, a lot of these people wield incredible influence, but if you target them at home where their loved ones are at risk, it makes people who are doing this for a living think twice about saying what they mean, and that is the definition of terrorism.

00:31:36.000 Indeed.

00:31:37.000 Indeed.

00:31:39.000 When they first swatted us, again, like, you know, it was Brett and Andy were outside and they walked towards the car.

00:31:44.000 But weren't you skating?

00:31:45.000 Or you guys were skating?

00:31:46.000 We just got done skating.

00:31:46.000 So we were at the, I mean, people might not know what the geography is, but there was the barn park that was off-site, like, next door.

00:31:54.000 So I was walking back inside.

00:31:55.000 So there's the main building, which is about 10,000 square feet.

00:31:58.000 It's a massive building.

00:32:01.000 When you walk up, you can see it, and then straight to the right is a 70-foot-wide pole barn with skate ramps in it.

00:32:10.000 And then the whole parking lot had—I don't know if at the time we had this.

00:32:14.000 We might have had the garden.

00:32:15.000 Might have still been the mini chicken coop at the top.

00:32:19.000 Yeah, and there was a garden there.

00:32:21.000 Actually, no.

00:32:22.000 No, I don't think.

00:32:23.000 No, no, it didn't.

00:32:23.000 It didn't.

00:32:24.000 We had concreted it already.

00:32:26.000 Yeah, we did do the concrete because I remember when the bomb squad showed up with the machines, it was all open space.

00:32:32.000 And so we have ramps out there, too, so you could be skating the whole parking lot.

00:32:36.000 Like for us, what saved the show from having the door kicked in is that we have employees.

00:32:41.000 So when they show up, it's Brett and Andy standing there being like, what's going on?

00:32:45.000 And the cops were probably confused because the calls they do for swatting, I think it was a hostage thing.

00:32:49.000 And they're like, there's two guys just standing outside like chilling.

00:32:52.000 Imagine me any other time my headphones are in both ears.

00:32:55.000 They're like, what?

00:32:55.000 I'm like, what?

00:32:56.000 No idea what's going on right now.

00:32:58.000 Just got very lucky that time.

00:32:59.000 And then there was chair cast not that long after that when there actually was the event.

00:33:04.000 That was the last swatting.

00:33:06.000 Yeah.

00:33:09.000 I don't want to – so let me put it this way.

00:33:11.000 We are – we largely mitigate potential swattings.

00:33:14.000 What happens now usually is the cops do perimeter sweeps because it happens so many times.

00:33:19.000 And our security guards just sent us a notice.

00:33:24.000 So it happens.

00:33:25.000 We don't talk about it anymore.

00:33:26.000 And so it'll be like, heads up, we got swatted again.

00:33:28.000 And it's just, literally at this point, it means nothing to us.

00:33:31.000 And it encourages it if you keep talking about it publicly.

00:33:33.000 At this point, it doesn't matter, though, because...

00:33:35.000 If it interrupts the show, it does.

00:33:36.000 It can't anymore.

00:33:37.000 No, no, I'm saying it encourages people if it interrupts the show.

00:33:40.000 Yeah, so when you have a private security company, you can't be swatted.

00:33:46.000 Because the police work with private security contractors, and they know who they are, and they have direct lines of communication.

00:33:53.000 If any one of these guys, like Cat Turd, at his house, had private security contractors, if, like, just put it this way, a lot of these guys are off-duty cops, or retired cops, and they have direct lines to the police.

00:34:07.000 They're literally, they go to the same poker games.

00:34:10.000 So when someone tries to swat you, they just say, like, you get a phone call and they're like, I'm at this address doing this thing.

00:34:16.000 They go, oh yeah, Jim works there.

00:34:18.000 He's there right now.

00:34:19.000 I actually dropped him off.

00:34:20.000 Nice try, buddy.

00:34:21.000 That makes no sense.

00:34:22.000 So for everybody else they're going after, they're clearly targeting small homes, and that's why they went after Nick Sorter's family.

00:34:29.000 Yeah.

00:34:29.000 Well, yeah, that's just it.

00:34:31.000 So, like, I understand for podcasts this size, or Cat Turd, or even Mike Engelman there, they have a following.

00:34:40.000 For someone like myself, I have a couple thousand people following me, and yes, that could still happen to me.

00:34:46.000 So that is a concern when I'm hearing these stories.

00:34:52.000 Do I look at different ways to secure myself within my means?

00:34:58.000 That's why I'm saying that the first thing you should do is call your local police department and say, hey, I have a small following with the wave of swattings going on.

00:35:06.000 I wanted to make, like, come in.

00:35:08.000 You know, what we did was, before, when we were in New Jersey, and before, this is like the early days, this is actually before TimCast IRL. So, this is a fascinating bit of TimCast history.

00:35:20.000 Before the launch of Timcast IRL, the Tim Pool Daily Show in the mornings was the 34th biggest podcast in the world.

00:35:27.000 It is nowhere near that anymore because when we launched IRL, it sort of everybody moved over.

00:35:32.000 I guess that's how it happens.

00:35:33.000 And we reduced volume.

00:35:35.000 But at the time, I went to the police station, which hilariously was one block from my house.

00:35:40.000 And I just said, hey, my name is Tim.

00:35:43.000 I've got a couple million followers.

00:35:44.000 I want you guys to know that I live down the street.

00:35:46.000 Here's my address.

00:35:48.000 In the event of any swatting, here's my cell number.

00:35:52.000 Literally, it's me, a roommate.

00:35:54.000 We make YouTube videos.

00:35:56.000 If anyone calls out about family, wife, house is not real.

00:35:59.000 And they're like, we get it.

00:36:01.000 We know what swattings are.

00:36:02.000 And never had a problem.

00:36:04.000 When we first moved to the castle, we did the same thing.

00:36:08.000 We didn't go and show up, though.

00:36:10.000 After we got swatted, we were like, time to hire private security.

00:36:13.000 We actually had a guy break into the house, too.

00:36:16.000 Like, I say break in.

00:36:17.000 It is burglary, but he didn't break anything.

00:36:22.000 He walked in the building and, yeah, was not allowed to.

00:36:26.000 He bypassed a barrier and a bunch of other stuff.

00:36:28.000 Yeah, policies changed after that.

00:36:30.000 Policies then became much more secure.

00:36:34.000 And now we have a perimeter barrier and guys with rifles.

00:36:39.000 I mean, that was crazy because that was like, he just shows up in the main living room, like the main area.

00:36:44.000 Yeah, we shouldn't get into it.

00:36:45.000 We shouldn't.

00:36:47.000 Let's just say people have committed crimes.

00:36:49.000 And the funny thing is, you know what's really funny?

00:36:53.000 We don't work at that studio anymore.

00:36:55.000 There's nothing there.

00:36:57.000 It's a private residence now.

00:36:58.000 It's being rented.

00:37:00.000 And people still show up there because they don't know.

00:37:03.000 And one guy showed up and physically attacked one of our employees.

00:37:08.000 We still own the property, but now there's neighbors.

00:37:12.000 And they're private residencies. 0.85

00:37:13.000 And then some guy, some crazy leftist, a guy in a dress, beat up one of our employees. 0.98

00:37:18.000 It's crazy. 0.98

00:37:19.000 So it's kind of nuts.

00:37:22.000 We headed the old property, not so much since we moved, because this is a, I guess I would describe this a compound, you know?

00:37:32.000 A fortified, multi-building, massive property with armed guards.

00:37:38.000 But the other property was just like a big house.

00:37:41.000 People still to this day drive up and sit at the base for just like 10-15 minutes, get out of the car and just stand, staring up the hill.

00:37:50.000 And it's the weirdest thing.

00:37:52.000 And even after we warned people that we have armed security and...

00:37:56.000 And elevated shooting positions.

00:37:57.000 But that is a fact.

00:37:59.000 And that we've conferred with local police and federal authorities, and we've actually put up all the requisite legal signs and everything, and physical barriers, people would still try and go up to the house.

00:38:09.000 And then they would discover a man standing there with a rifle trained on them.

00:38:12.000 Shocked to find that when you jump a barricade that says, like, do not enter this property.

00:38:20.000 You know, armed security guards will defend themselves.

00:38:23.000 People are like, whoa, there's a guy there with a gun!

00:38:25.000 And it's like, turn around now and leave.

00:38:26.000 So what type of federal resources is Kash Patel going to put into place to even look into stuff like this?

00:38:32.000 Apparently none.

00:38:33.000 He says they're committed to working with local law enforcement.

00:38:36.000 I'm saying, would that just be him and somebody that he works with overseeing consistent calls to the places that have had these swattings, like to Nick Sorter?

00:38:46.000 I mean, I assume he'll have some resources for them, which is, I don't mean to be crass when I say none.

00:38:52.000 I imagine what they're going to be able to offer up is interstate data.

00:38:56.000 So the swatters probably don't live in the states where the swattings are happening, making it very difficult for local law enforcement.

00:39:01.000 With Cash now engaged, he can contact each local department and say...

00:39:06.000 We can take this to the federal level and get you the data you need.

00:39:08.000 We will fast-track you for interstate law enforcement.

00:39:12.000 Oh, you mean the actual case for federal law enforcement in the first place?

00:39:16.000 Exactly.

00:39:17.000 Bing.

00:39:18.000 Let's jump to this next story from Mediaite.

00:39:20.000 Bill Burr torches Elon Musk and his piece of ish car after being told he's trending for slamming the billionaire.

00:39:27.000 Nerds ruining the world. 1.00

00:39:28.000 Bill Burr is a despicable, silly man. 1.00

00:39:32.000 He has great presentation, though. 1.00

00:39:33.000 I can't fault him.

00:39:34.000 He really knows how to present anything in a way that is funny.

00:39:39.000 He is the human embodiment of Ow My Balls. 1.00

00:39:43.000 That being said, he's a scumbag, and look at this. 1.00

00:39:46.000 Look at this. 1.00

00:39:47.000 You see this?

00:39:47.000 See the video playing?

00:39:49.000 Twitter tried to play the video when we weren't using the tab.

00:39:52.000 I muted it.

00:39:53.000 How dare you?

00:39:54.000 Let me play some clips for you.

00:39:58.000 I mean, I... If I was running shit, I would shut down CNN, Fox News, and you would no longer be able to comment on stuff on the internet. 0.97

00:40:08.000 And then I would just leave it at that and let the, you know, bring it down to a simmer. 0.99

00:40:12.000 And then maybe be like, alright, you know, talk to people.

00:40:17.000 How do you want to live?

00:40:18.000 What works for you?

00:40:19.000 And try to like, you know, I don't know. 1.00

00:40:23.000 See, this is what I would describe as dangerously stupid. 1.00

00:40:25.000 He doesn't know anything about civics, politics, social behaviors. 0.99

00:40:30.000 And so his idea is, if we shut down people's ability to get things off their chest, maybe then it will simmer down.

00:40:37.000 I have news for you, good sir.

00:40:38.000 It will result in bombs going off.

00:40:40.000 He also proudly talks about how he doesn't know what's going on and how he doesn't pay attention to the news.

00:40:46.000 What I don't get is the amount of veterans, people in the armed services that died trying to stop Hitler, and then this guy comes in, you know, and does that. 0.79

00:40:59.000 While being an immigrant, too, which is kind of fair.

00:41:01.000 The whole thing, none of it tracks how you can be the support.

00:41:05.000 Maybe you're wrong.

00:41:06.000 It's almost like you're wrong.

00:41:07.000 Yep.

00:41:08.000 Unreal.

00:41:10.000 He's going after Elon saying he did a seagull.

00:41:12.000 He didn't.

00:41:14.000 The funny thing is, these people will take literally anything.

00:41:20.000 Any position your arm is in, even if it's the wrong arm.

00:41:23.000 Even if you don't do the...

00:41:25.000 Okay, so just so people know this, the Nazi salute is a heel-click, hand to the chest, arm straight forward and slightly angled up.

00:41:34.000 Elon did not do that.

00:41:35.000 He did grab his chest, but then his arm went directly to his right side and outward, which is literally not a Nazi salute, nor did he shout out Hitler.

00:41:45.000 Bill Burr is a prominent mainstream liberal who has said...

00:41:52.000 He believes people should take the lives of wealthy individuals.

00:41:58.000 He has praised Luigi Mangione on more than one occasion and called for him to be released.

00:42:04.000 We are looking at a prominent mainstream liberal social orthodoxy advocating for violence and murder.

00:42:12.000 There was that clip we played last week from Adam Conover's show.

00:42:18.000 Where a woman said they polled attendees of the Women's March.

00:42:21.000 Was it the Women's March?

00:42:23.000 Something like that.

00:42:24.000 A big Democrat protestant found one-third believed that violence was justified to stop Donald Trump.

00:42:30.000 They always believe that.

00:42:32.000 The left believes violence is justified to achieve whatever goal they have in mind, whether it's to stop Donald Trump, whether it's to stop Elon Musk.

00:42:40.000 It doesn't matter.

00:42:41.000 It's always acceptable to use violence.

00:42:43.000 If violence is, well, if they, whatever the issue is.

00:42:48.000 Ends justify the means.

00:42:49.000 That's one of the most annoying parts about all this.

00:42:51.000 It's funny because that's a trope that's so popular in Hollywood is to talk about stories that discuss the idea of the ends justifying the means, but they really do.

00:42:59.000 I mean, look at this.

00:43:23.000 The media-ite story on him has...

00:43:26.000 4,895 comments.

00:43:29.000 So I can't speak to Mediaite's readership, but I can extrapolate at least based off a YouTube video and say that that probably means, actually, let me jump over here and see what we got.

00:43:45.000 I'd estimate half a million views to potentially one million on this article about Bill Burr.

00:43:52.000 Not Bill Burr.

00:43:53.000 That's how famous he is. 0.89

00:43:55.000 And his view is that nerds are bad.

00:43:57.000 Take a look at this.

00:43:58.000 He doubles down on Free Luigi.

00:44:01.000 Yo, Luigi Mangione is alleged to have murdered a man in cold blood.

00:44:06.000 After this happened, Bill Burr said that it was a good thing and should happen more.

00:44:12.000 This is the mainstream liberal worldview.

00:44:14.000 I'm going to play this video for you guys.

00:44:18.000 I actually don't know if I want to play it.

00:44:20.000 I'll play a little bit of it. 0.99

00:44:22.000 I don't give a fuck! 0.99

00:44:25.000 I'm going to stop it there. 0.99

00:44:27.000 Because you can infer what she's going to say next, and I don't want to play that clip.

00:44:32.000 So these videos, that video of that woman, that's a random woman. 1.00

00:44:37.000 Every day, I got somebody here at Timcast posting in our internal chat or sending to me and being like, look at this, and it's some random nobody on TikTok saying to go and engage in this action.

00:44:51.000 So that woman... 1.00

00:44:53.000 Needs to be arrested and perp walked.

00:44:55.000 And Cash and Pam need to hold a press conference, as they do, and say, if you do this, we will arrest you. 0.92

00:45:05.000 Every single one.

00:45:07.000 Because the issue is, it is a social orthodoxy. 1.00

00:45:11.000 These people, many of them, are not doing it because they know Bill Burr is as dumb as a box of rocks. 0.99

00:45:17.000 And I'm sad to say that because I didn't want to offend rocks. 1.00

00:45:20.000 But Bill Burr is very stupid. 1.00

00:45:23.000 He's a very stupid man, okay? 1.00

00:45:25.000 He's funny. 1.00

00:45:26.000 He has some of the best presentation in comedy. 1.00

00:45:28.000 But he is dangerously stupid in advocating for murder and violence without understanding how the world operates. 0.99

00:45:34.000 He's not doing it because he genuinely feels, in his heart of hearts, based on research and strong, well-put thought. 1.00

00:45:43.000 He's doing it because everyone around him is just going, and he's balking along with them.

00:45:50.000 You stop it by arresting them.

00:45:53.000 Now, Bill Burr nearly crossed the line when he advocated that people should do a thing to billionaires and then said, free Luigi.

00:46:02.000 But that's not creating an imminent threat.

00:46:03.000 That woman did, which said, go do it. 1.00

00:46:06.000 It's also disconnected because it's not like the guy involved in the Luigi Mangione case was a billionaire.

00:46:15.000 He was a millionaire who worked for a billion dollar institution in healthcare, right?

00:46:20.000 So between that and the fact that Bill Burr in a lot of cases is probably the most dangerous type for this type too because he is, like Tim said, he is a good communicator.

00:46:30.000 He gets his point across in an entertaining way and he gets it across to people who are mentally ill and dysregulated.

00:46:38.000 Clearly off her rocker and radicalized.

00:46:40.000 Bill Burr is only worth – is worth $20 million and the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was worth $40 million.

00:46:47.000 So according to the leftists that say – that would say it's acceptable to kill rich people, Bill Burr is right in that – Well, their logic would be that he was working for a billion-dollar institution that they believe is destroying America.

00:47:01.000 Did they ever take down the podcast where he did that?

00:47:05.000 Probably not.

00:47:06.000 On his podcast where he advocated for people to go and take the lives of others, that's against the rules of every single platform.

00:47:14.000 Even Rumble.

00:47:15.000 Even X. You cannot do that.

00:47:18.000 Because there's...

00:47:19.000 You know what's funny?

00:47:20.000 People need to understand.

00:47:21.000 Insurance companies run the world.

00:47:23.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:47:25.000 I mean, let me say, here's the solution.

00:47:30.000 Make asylums great again. 1.00

00:47:33.000 Wait, wasn't that something that Vivek was running on for his upcoming?

00:47:37.000 They're going to 5150 Bill Burr because of danger to himself and others?

00:47:41.000 Well, I mean, the other lady is somebody that also likely needs to be 5150. There's a huge issue with that in this country right now. 0.64

00:47:49.000 For the past 15 years, all of the power structures, all of the media, everything out there has told Bill Burr what he's saying is perfectly acceptable.

00:47:58.000 Yep.

00:47:59.000 Because the Democrats never actually face any accountability.

00:48:02.000 I will say, though, guys, I have to say this.

00:48:05.000 He has probably one of the best presentations in comedy.

00:48:09.000 Oh, absolutely. 0.60

00:48:10.000 He's funny, but it sucks because this is not funny. 0.96

00:48:14.000 You know? 0.65

00:48:16.000 When...

00:48:17.000 When he tells jokes, he's got the best way of telling stories in a way that makes you laugh, and that's why he's so good at what he does. 0.78

00:48:24.000 Then when he starts reading this gobbledygook garbage where he starts advocating for violent death and murder, it's like, bro, it's not funny anymore.

00:48:31.000 You're talking in a weird way about people dying, and I don't like it. 0.97

00:48:34.000 Phil brought up his net worth versus the CEO, or was it the CEO? I believe Bill Burr has half the net worth.

00:48:42.000 Okay, so he brought that up, and you'd think that at some point...

00:48:46.000 During his speech about Free Luigi, he would consider, like, the second step of thinking, like, well, this guy wasn't a billionaire, or did he just assume that this guy who worked for this company was also a billionaire?

00:48:58.000 And the fact that we talk about now that, and this is all over Hollywood, do not...

00:49:03.000 It doesn't matter.

00:49:03.000 No, no, no, Brett.

00:49:04.000 I know that it doesn't matter.

00:49:05.000 You are not thinking of the second step.

00:49:07.000 Okay.

00:49:08.000 You just played yourself.

00:49:10.000 Explain it.

00:49:10.000 Bill Burr did think ahead.

00:49:12.000 He said, these people on social media...

00:49:15.000 Want to murder the rich, and they're starting to do it.

00:49:19.000 I better join their side before they come after me.

00:49:22.000 He knows he's one of them.

00:49:24.000 He wants to make sure that when it all goes down, what do you mean?

00:49:27.000 I told you to do it!

00:49:28.000 I'm on your side!

00:49:30.000 He's looking for insurance about that, but at the end of the day, if you're dealing with people that...

00:49:36.000 Are willing to kill someone because they perceive them as being the other for being rich?

00:49:43.000 Even if most of the people are in some way in on the story and understand that Bill Burr is on their team and stuff, all it takes is one person that isn't read into the theory to be like, oh, well, this guy is also the rich guy.

00:49:58.000 He works in an industry that has now capped that list.

00:50:01.000 He works in an industry that has now capped that list at billionaire.

00:50:03.000 Remember we'd make the joke about Bernie Sanders.

00:50:06.000 Sanders.

00:50:06.000 Millionaires is only...

00:50:08.000 You don't mention millionaires?

00:50:09.000 He stopped saying millionaires as soon as he became one.

00:50:11.000 So now every TV show that criticizes rich elites, it actually uses billionaire with a capital B, like I mentioned in the show Paradise.

00:50:18.000 They literally call them the billionaires.

00:50:22.000 They're working with the billionaires because they're capping it.

00:50:25.000 They're capping it at the idea that billionaire is an other.

00:50:28.000 It's somebody that you're allowed to other and turn into some type of target because they see them as less than human because they believe that they've harmed them in some way.

00:50:38.000 I can't watch Paradise.

00:50:39.000 Didn't like it?

00:50:40.000 It's because James Marsden was killed in the first, like, five minutes.

00:50:43.000 I turned it off.

00:50:44.000 They also...

00:50:45.000 I was like, James, not out! 0.67

00:50:47.000 The sad thing also is, like, he ends up being, like, this really, really awesome, layered, sympathetic character, but they make him into such a piece of crap at the beginning at his first interaction with Sterling K. Brown's character.

00:50:58.000 I don't like the time jumping.

00:50:59.000 Yeah.

00:51:00.000 And the color...

00:51:01.000 Like, they should have been...

00:51:02.000 There should have been a solid color differential between the flashbacks in the present day, and they didn't do that.

00:51:07.000 Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.

00:51:09.000 This may terrify many of you, but it appears that Democrats have learned to communicate from beyond the grave.

00:51:17.000 Social media erupts over congressman's reaction to Trump job cuts after his death.

00:51:23.000 Heavens me.

00:51:24.000 Raul M. Grijalva was able to send this message on social media despite the fact he died.

00:51:31.000 Well, I can say this.

00:51:33.000 Maybe he scheduled the post or...

00:51:36.000 Maybe other people have been posting for politicians the whole time, and that's probably the case.

00:51:41.000 Media reports Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva decried President Donald Trump's move to cut thousands of jobs at the U.S. Department of Education in a long post on X Thursday, but there was one problem.

00:51:52.000 He was dead.

00:51:54.000 The post from his official ex-account posted at 3.16 p.m.

00:51:56.000 Thursday slammed the president's decision, but Grijalva had died in the morning, according to a statement from his family that read, the office of the 7th District of Arizona is saddened to announce the passing of Congressman Raul M. Grijalva.

00:52:07.000 He fought a long and brave battle.

00:52:08.000 He passed away this morning due to complications of his cancer treatments.

00:52:11.000 In all seriousness, I am sad to hear this man passed away, and I hope the best for his family.

00:52:15.000 I do not respect, however, those who are impersonating his accountant, posting on his behalf.

00:52:20.000 A staffer or a scheduled post.

00:52:22.000 Even Andy Kaczynski of CNN says, Amazing, someone thought to hit the send button after he died on this.

00:52:28.000 Totally wild.

00:52:29.000 There was a weekend at Bernie's going on.

00:52:31.000 Look at this.

00:52:32.000 Absolutely crazy.

00:52:33.000 They had already published the statement on his death and then two hours later made the post.

00:52:39.000 That's crazy, man.

00:52:40.000 Isn't it possible that it was scheduled?

00:52:42.000 Perhaps, indeed.

00:52:43.000 Maybe, and if that's the case, I would say it is light mismanagement, but I don't believe that was the case.

00:52:49.000 I think there's likely social media interns who have access to the accounts.

00:52:54.000 We've seen it time and time again where an individual will, like, Walmart will tweet something like, and the Fed.

00:53:00.000 I wish it was actually something more leftist.

00:53:02.000 And then you're like, oh, it's the intern who runs the Walmart social media accidentally opened the account.

00:53:07.000 I think likely what happened is that...

00:53:09.000 Somebody who wasn't privy to his passing in the morning wrote that up and sent it later in the day.

00:53:15.000 No, no, I think we got it all wrong here, Tim.

00:53:18.000 What this is, is this was a story that was intended for the Babylon Bee, and the headline should have actually been, Elon Musk delivers first batch of Starlink to heaven.

00:53:27.000 Yeah.

00:53:27.000 Indeed.

00:53:28.000 Or, like, Neuralink.

00:53:29.000 Somehow, like, there was still random synapses firing in his brain.

00:53:33.000 I, you know, I feel like the Babylon Bee can't do it now, but it would have been great if the Babylon Bee had an article where it was like, Democrats' research in necromancy prevails as congressman is able to condemn Trump from beyond grave.

00:53:46.000 Nice.

00:53:48.000 How hard is it to...

00:53:49.000 I've never scheduled a post on X. I want to be nice.

00:53:52.000 I am sad to hear that this man passed away.

00:53:54.000 I'm very saddened by this.

00:53:56.000 There was another congressman who passed shortly after Donald Trump gave his presentation.

00:54:00.000 So I will simply say this.

00:54:03.000 Raul Grijalva was looking down as he was concerned of Trump and sent one last tweet.

00:54:10.000 Rest in peace, brother.

00:54:11.000 I may not like the Democrats, but, you know, people dying of cancer is never fun.

00:54:14.000 Never funny.

00:54:15.000 Not at all.

00:54:16.000 But interns posting...

00:54:18.000 I don't know how this happened.

00:54:22.000 I hope it was a scheduled post.

00:54:24.000 I'm going to schedule it.

00:54:25.000 But I don't know why he would schedule a post like that.

00:54:27.000 I'm going to schedule a post for, like, 75 years from now.

00:54:30.000 Yeah?

00:54:30.000 Well, actually...

00:54:33.000 Who did this?

00:54:34.000 There have been people who have scheduled posts.

00:54:38.000 Did McAfee do this?

00:54:39.000 No, he didn't do this.

00:54:40.000 Oh, the one about McAfee.

00:54:43.000 I remember that.

00:54:43.000 People record videos and then schedule them two weeks in advance and then every week change the date.

00:54:49.000 That way, if anything happens to them, the video gets released.

00:54:50.000 Yeah, it's like a dead man's switch.

00:54:53.000 Wasn't there a thing built into Facebook at one point in time that you could actually have it set up so annually it would post on your birthday?

00:55:03.000 I have no idea.

00:55:05.000 Doesn't Facebook have, like, a death coordinator thing where, like, upon death, someone else gains access to your account or something?

00:55:12.000 Family members.

00:55:13.000 They do now because there was actual legal issues behind that a few years back where they actually had to say, family members said, no, this Facebook account needs to be shut down.

00:55:22.000 They have died.

00:55:23.000 And Facebook's like, no, we own that account.

00:55:26.000 You know what's funny is in all these movies, you ever notice in, like, in a movie even today?

00:55:32.000 Someone will get a phone call, and then you'll hear a line click and a dial tone.

00:55:37.000 Yeah.

00:55:37.000 They still do the dial tone.

00:55:38.000 They still do the dial tone.

00:55:39.000 And I think it's funny because it's a cell phone, and then they'll be talking, and it'll be like, you have three hours, click.

00:55:45.000 Nobody knows the three that you hear with the cell phone.

00:55:48.000 Okay, so my point is, these are anachronisms.

00:55:52.000 They don't exist in modern day.

00:55:53.000 So when we watch movies, and whenever they have a will-reading scene...

00:55:57.000 It's like, they all sit down and they're like, to John, I leave one million dollars to marry my Corvette.

00:56:04.000 Actually, what probably is going on now, it's like, to my son, I give you my passwords to all of my accounts on my computer and I ask that you delete my browsing history and merge the hard drive.

00:56:16.000 You know another one they always do is you'll see somebody put a Glock in someone's face and you'll hear a hammer pull back.

00:56:21.000 Yep, always.

00:56:22.000 Oh, God.

00:56:23.000 Right, right.

00:56:24.000 Okay, I gotta say this.

00:56:25.000 Because I know Phil is going to agree.

00:56:28.000 In every movie, every time a gun is shown, even with no action, the hammer's pulled.

00:56:33.000 The gun is cocked.

00:56:35.000 It's like, you know what I want to see?

00:56:37.000 I want to see a movie, just one time.

00:56:39.000 Anyone do this?

00:56:40.000 Where, when they hand a gun to a character who's like, you know someone will be like, you gotta use one of these?

00:56:45.000 And they'll be like, I can figure it out.

00:56:47.000 What I want to happen is when they're about to fight, he goes to cock the gun and it ejects a round.

00:56:52.000 Yes.

00:56:53.000 That would be great.

00:56:55.000 I've seen it where, you know, they'll do that.

00:56:57.000 The guy will hand the gun, he'll rack it, hands it to the next guy, and then he'll rack it again.

00:57:02.000 Oh, yeah.

00:57:03.000 Nothing ejects. 0.98

00:57:03.000 I just want to see the balls come flying. 0.98

00:57:04.000 It's funnier when they do it with, like, pump-action shotguns.

00:57:07.000 It's because it's used as an inflection point.

00:57:10.000 It's like, that's what you've got to stop!

00:57:11.000 And then he just keeps doing it.

00:57:13.000 Then they have the most awesome six shooters ever in Hollywood.

00:57:16.000 This conversation here is exactly why so many people were so quick to jump on the John Wick is amazing.

00:57:23.000 Because they knew.

00:57:25.000 Because the editor was counting rounds in magazines.

00:57:29.000 Or counting rounds, and they were reloading.

00:57:32.000 You didn't have him shooting 500 rounds from the gun.

00:57:35.000 They were going 15 rounds, reload, 15 rounds, reload.

00:57:38.000 And more importantly...

00:57:39.000 In all these action movies, you've got the guy going like this, running, and then going like this, or like this.

00:57:46.000 Keanu Reeves was actually handling his weapon properly, and you can watch him do it on his Instagram, too.

00:57:51.000 There's actually a line in the very first episode of Person of Interest where a guy's holding a gun like that.

00:57:57.000 He's like, you know if you shoot that, that's going to eject a casing like right in your face, right?

00:58:01.000 But I still want to point out there is still a big flaw in the initial in the first John Wick when he switches from his Glock or from his P30L to his Glock and then suddenly he's a stormtrooper and he can't hit anything.

00:58:14.000 He's shooting at the...

00:58:15.000 Well, the other guy had plot armor.

00:58:17.000 He was like on glass.

00:58:19.000 He misses him from glass 10. To be fair, if you really want to get into it, no man is going to storm the gates, take out 50 people.

00:58:48.000 I do love how Every movie is like this.

00:58:51.000 Every show.

00:58:52.000 I was watching Squid Games 2, which sucked, by the way.

00:58:55.000 And it's just like, here's 70 bad guys and three good guys, and the three good guys just keep plowing through them.

00:59:02.000 The bad guys have no training.

00:59:04.000 The trope is always that in the movies, everybody's behind a car and shooting, and the bad guy stands up into full view so the guy can shoot him.

00:59:11.000 It's like, just don't do that.

00:59:13.000 Except I just watched...

00:59:15.000 Have you seen The Gifted?

00:59:16.000 No.

00:59:17.000 It's from 2017, and it was a Marvel X-Men.

00:59:21.000 It was the Hulu one, yeah.

00:59:22.000 Was it Hulu?

00:59:23.000 It went to Hulu after Network.

00:59:25.000 Yeah, it's on Disney.

00:59:26.000 And it was an okay show, but there's a scene where all the good guys are doing that.

00:59:30.000 The bad guys are the white supremacists, but it's not about white people, it's about mutants.

00:59:35.000 And so they come with a bunch of guns, and all of the good guys are just standing up for no reason, getting shot. 0.96

00:59:39.000 And it's just like, you could go behind that rock, perhaps.

00:59:43.000 Don't hide behind a car either.

00:59:45.000 Bullets go through cars pretty well.

00:59:46.000 Engine block.

00:59:48.000 One of the first things they teach you...

00:59:49.000 But even still, cars are bullet magnets.

00:59:52.000 Cars are bullet magnets.

00:59:53.000 Get away from the car.

00:59:54.000 But in hostile environment training, they teach...

00:59:56.000 If you have to duck behind a car, it must be the engine block.

00:59:59.000 Yes.

00:59:59.000 Because people think that thin aluminum is going to protect you.

01:00:04.000 It is not.

01:00:04.000 But in movies, they do it.

01:00:05.000 Like, the cops open the door and then crouch behind it.

01:00:08.000 They're standing behind the door.

01:00:09.000 It's like one millimeter of thin aluminum.

01:00:11.000 I watched a worse one the other day where a guy, like, he actually drops beneath the door to shoot someone.

01:00:17.000 Like, you just exposed your entire body to whoever's there.

01:00:21.000 That's just it.

01:00:21.000 So you say, don't stand behind the car because you're going to get shot.

01:00:25.000 Honestly, I see someone duck behind a car.

01:00:27.000 I'm firing rounds off the pavement.

01:00:29.000 Yeah, they will skip right into them.

01:00:31.000 To be fair, in the movies they do that.

01:00:32.000 That is pretty common where the guy falls down and then shoots underneath the car.

01:00:36.000 Yeah, but just for the person crouching still, I can fire a round right off the pavement.

01:00:42.000 John Wick can fire a round right off the pavement.

01:00:45.000 I know this because my cousin died at the age of 12 because this happened.

01:00:49.000 Don't mess around with guns, people.

01:00:51.000 You gotta get proper training.

01:00:52.000 Unless you're in Orin Wanted, where you make the bullet curve.

01:00:55.000 Oh, God.

01:00:56.000 I love...

01:00:56.000 Yeah, you whip your arm, and then the...

01:00:58.000 That makes literally no sense.

01:01:01.000 But that movie was awesome.

01:01:02.000 Who cares?

01:01:02.000 It was awesome.

01:01:04.000 Like, that's the thing, though.

01:01:05.000 Like, everybody's obsessed with realism right now.

01:01:07.000 I don't want it to be real.

01:01:08.000 I want to see the bullet curve.

01:01:09.000 Angelina Jolie whips the bullet and it goes all the way around everybody, and then her. 1.00

01:01:13.000 Dude, that movie was so...

01:01:15.000 But I loved it.

01:01:17.000 That movie was funny.

01:01:18.000 Everybody's too worried about realism now.

01:01:20.000 Sometimes you just curve the bullet.

01:01:22.000 Alright, let's jump to this next story.

01:01:23.000 For this next story, we bring you to Reddit.

01:01:26.000 It's our good friend David Pakman.

01:01:28.000 I'm not saying this to drag David Pakman personally because he did not post this, but over on the subreddit for David Pakman, David Pakman's followers don't know that Anonymous isn't a group of people.

01:01:40.000 They posted anonymous claims 2024 election interference and election fraud.

01:01:45.000 I'm going to play the video for you.

01:01:47.000 First, it's two minutes.

01:01:48.000 Take a listen.

01:01:50.000 Greetings, users of TikTok.

01:01:51.000 You may have noticed disruptions across your social media platforms.

01:01:54.000 It began with Twitter and is now extended to Snapchat.

01:01:57.000 These platforms are struggling to maintain stability due to targeted and strategic actions against their systems.

01:02:03.000 Know this.

01:02:04.000 This is only the beginning.

01:02:05.000 They may regain control temporarily, but their infrastructure will continue to falter over and over again.

01:02:11.000 You may be asking, why is this happening?

01:02:14.000 The answer is clear.

01:02:16.000 Social media wields immense influence, not just in the United States, but across the globe.

01:02:21.000 Elon Musk understood this power and exploited it, aligning himself with Donald Trump to manipulate the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

01:02:28.000 Oh.

01:02:29.000 We have investigated.

01:02:30.000 We have seen the evidence.

01:02:32.000 The 2024 election was not free from interference.

01:02:36.000 We can say with certainty that data was altered to secure a victory for Donald Trump.

01:02:40.000 Key swing states, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan, experienced database breaches within ballot counting systems.

01:02:47.000 Do you believe this is coincidence?

01:02:50.000 But the manipulation did not stop there.

01:02:52.000 Musk weaponized Twitter's reach to spread misinformation, feeding the public artificial threats and fabricated narratives designed to influence voter decisions.

01:03:00.000 This is why social media platforms now find themselves in turmoil.

01:03:04.000 Twitter and its leadership directly interfered in democracy, not just in the presidential election, but in elections across the country.

01:03:11.000 And yet, other platforms stood by in silence.

01:03:15.000 Their inaction makes them complicit.

01:03:17.000 They continue to suppress the truth.

01:03:19.000 They continue to censor reality.

01:03:21.000 Let it be known, as long as they remain complicit, their systems will remain unstable.

01:03:27.000 Only when they uphold the rights of the people, only when they allow the truth to be told, will they regain control.

01:03:33.000 To the CEOs of these platforms, do what is right.

01:03:37.000 If you will not serve the people, you do not deserve to be available to the people.

01:03:41.000 To the remaining social media platforms, take heed.

01:03:44.000 What is happening to Twitter and Snapchat is not an isolated event.

01:03:48.000 It is a warning.

01:03:49.000 You have enabled deception, profited from manipulation, and stood idle as the truth was buried.

01:03:55.000 That time is over.

01:03:56.000 If you continue down this path, you will share their fate.

01:04:00.000 You are being watched.

01:04:02.000 Your silence will not protect you.

01:04:04.000 Your compliance will not absolve you.

01:04:06.000 Make your next moves carefully.

01:04:08.000 We are anonymous.

01:04:10.000 We are a legion.

01:04:11.000 We do not forgive.

01:04:13.000 We do not forget.

01:04:15.000 Expect us.

01:04:17.000 So, let me show you some of the responses here on this Reddit.

01:04:20.000 The claims of anonymous aside, Donald is clearly in debt to Elon for something.

01:04:24.000 Moving on.

01:04:24.000 I'm hoping they use TikTok because of its reach.

01:04:27.000 They are spot on about Musk.

01:04:29.000 The only thing I don't like about Anonymous shutting down social media apps.

01:04:32.000 Air the proof.

01:04:33.000 I want to see the proof.

01:04:33.000 Kind of wild to think any legit Anonymous member.

01:04:37.000 Blah, blah, blah.

01:04:38.000 The point is, Anonymous never was a group of people.

01:04:44.000 It is not.

01:04:45.000 To this day, it's still not.

01:04:47.000 And this is a perfect example, not of Anonymous stuff.

01:04:52.000 It is that these people don't actually know anything about what's going on.

01:04:56.000 So for...

01:04:57.000 For us here, for instance, and for you watching.

01:05:01.000 You watching are all likely more informed because we who produce these shows are more informed.

01:05:07.000 So I will tell you.

01:05:09.000 The phrase anonymous comes from 4chan.

01:05:11.000 When you post on the message board, your name appears as the word anonymous.

01:05:14.000 These people are referred to as Anons.

01:05:17.000 4chan would engage in mischief.

01:05:19.000 What would happen basically is somebody would make a post on 4chan saying, hey, everyone, we should go do this thing.

01:05:26.000 If nobody really cared, the post slowly disappears.

01:05:29.000 But every time someone replies to the post, it gets bumped and moves to the top.

01:05:33.000 This resulted in online pranks from people who largely didn't pay attention.

01:05:37.000 There's one man who saw one of these campaigns.

01:05:40.000 It said, download an app called the low, a program at the time, when we say app, low orbit ion cannon, which allows you to engage in what's called the denial of service attack.

01:05:49.000 This guy had no idea what any of this meant.

01:05:52.000 Download the program.

01:05:53.000 It said, type in this IP and press go.

01:05:54.000 And he went, sure.

01:05:55.000 And then he left.

01:05:56.000 He had no idea what was going on.

01:05:57.000 He went to prison.

01:05:58.000 He got in serious trouble.

01:06:00.000 I think he got like two years.

01:06:01.000 That is who, quote unquote, anonymous is a random guy who was told by a stranger on the Internet.

01:06:05.000 The video that you just watched that they believe is real is a 15 year old video of a guy wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and a hoodie.

01:06:13.000 And it's probably only 10 seconds of him bobbing his head up and down.

01:06:17.000 And then it loops.

01:06:17.000 The voice is clearly A.I. generated.

01:06:19.000 What they used to do is just general voice changers.

01:06:23.000 Anonymous.

01:06:24.000 When anyone ever said anonymous threatens X, they literally mean the true definition of the word anonymous.

01:06:32.000 Replace that word with random guy.

01:06:35.000 So let's now apply that to this video.

01:06:38.000 David Pakman's show on Reddit, the post says, random guy claims 2024 election interference and election fraud.

01:06:46.000 When you hear that, you go, oh, well, who cares what some random guy thinks?

01:06:51.000 In the video.

01:06:53.000 They're trying to take credit for taking down Twitter, X, and Snapchat.

01:06:59.000 Objectively false.

01:07:01.000 It is a random person who made a random video and liberals think it's real.

01:07:05.000 And what's going to happen is your liberal aunt is going to be like, did you hear that that hacker group said that they have proof Trump stole the election?

01:07:13.000 You mean unanimous?

01:07:14.000 And don't forget, Trump supporters played a very, very similar game with Donald Trump back in 2020. It's just stupid. 1.00

01:07:27.000 It's just stupid. 1.00

01:07:30.000 Mostly people who just remember watching Mr. Robot. 1.00

01:07:33.000 That's what they're...

01:07:34.000 Well, I mean, what's fascinating is the anonymous stuff was 15 years ago.

01:07:38.000 And I'll let you guys in on a secret to all the people.

01:07:42.000 How do I know these things?

01:07:43.000 I know most of those people.

01:07:46.000 In the IRC chats, I just hang out at the Akerspaces.

01:07:51.000 We know the people who are working these activist groups.

01:07:54.000 There was a hacker group called Telecomics that I was friends with.

01:07:57.000 I'm friends with many of these guys.

01:07:58.000 They did operations for communications in the Arab Spring with protests.

01:08:02.000 There were two operations.

01:08:05.000 Quote-unquote anonymous, a group of random people on various IRCs shared something they called Black Facts.

01:08:12.000 It was Operation Black Facts.

01:08:14.000 It was viral on 4chan.

01:08:16.000 What it did was that someone got a list of all of the phone numbers in Egypt.

01:08:21.000 And I'm not sure what other country.

01:08:22.000 It might have been Libya.

01:08:23.000 And posted it and said, everyone fax these numbers black pieces of paper.

01:08:29.000 What that will do is it will run all of the ink or whatever in the machines.

01:08:33.000 It'll burn them out.

01:08:34.000 And so they burned all the machines out.

01:08:36.000 Telecomics got into a feud with a lot of these hacktivists because Telecomics was doing something called White Fax, where they were spamming all fax machines with information on how to connect to the Internet to share information about what was going on during the Arab Spring.

01:08:50.000 There is no group of anonymous.

01:08:52.000 It was literally just random people.

01:08:55.000 David Pakman's users on Reddit are all responding as if that is an actual person who made a video taking actual credit from an actual organization, actually believing the election was stolen, and they're going to spread that around.

01:09:11.000 Well, that type of video is extremely powerful to people who are kind of boxed into a specific way of thinking, right? 0.97

01:09:17.000 You mean dumb? 0.99

01:09:18.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:09:18.000 So the people who don't pay attention to the news, like I mentioned, they're going to go around now saying Anonymous said this and this and that because they don't know it's not a real thing. 0.99

01:09:25.000 And the feds really loved the idea because it created a specter during the early 2010s where when they wanted to go after people for CFAA violations, they could wiggle the specter of Anonymous, the hacker group with the Guy Fawkes masks.

01:09:38.000 And see, this is all just a bad marketing campaign, to be perfectly honest.

01:09:42.000 They need to update with the times.

01:09:44.000 I am waiting for a new video where instead of the Guy Fawkes masks, We got the Scream Ghostface mask.

01:09:50.000 Yeah.

01:09:50.000 Because they're just a joke at this point.

01:09:53.000 You know, it was a joke in the beginning.

01:09:56.000 It started with Scientology.

01:09:58.000 So the first protests, and did I remember watching these people protest in Chicago?

01:10:03.000 They all put on Guy Fawkes masks because V for Vendetta, obviously.

01:10:08.000 And we're protesting Scientology.

01:10:11.000 It was Operation Chinology that got a lot of attraction.

01:10:15.000 Chinology, yeah.

01:10:15.000 That's right.

01:10:15.000 And what the activists were basically saying is, Scientology is bad, so we should go and protest them, but we have to wear masks because they'll target you and harass your families.

01:10:24.000 And then, because it was just basically memes, other people posted other things, and other things got popular.

01:10:31.000 One of my favorite anonymous operations was Operation King Cone.

01:10:35.000 Now, you may not be familiar with it because nobody went out and caused a ruckus wearing Guy Fawkes masks.

01:10:40.000 Let me tell you guys what anonymous really is.

01:10:43.000 Anonymous is...

01:10:44.000 A post on 4chan that says, I have found a camera on Earthlink pointing to TGIF in Times Square.

01:10:52.000 There is an orange street cone up against the wall of the TGIF. It is our mission, Anonymous, to knock this cone over.

01:11:01.000 Can we do it?

01:11:02.000 And for like eight hours, people on 4chan were trying to find ways to get that cone to knock over.

01:11:09.000 So the simple version is, all of these people across the country sitting on the internet, bored, We're watching a webcam of Times Square and they were just like, this orange cone needs to tip over somehow.

01:11:21.000 How can we do it?

01:11:23.000 After several hours, eventually, I think it was three guys walked past it with their hands in their pockets and then just froze and then walked backwards, turned around, grabbed the cone, flipped it over and started bashing it and stomping on it, waved to the camera and then walked away.

01:11:39.000 Shortly after that, three more people walked over with a young woman.

01:11:43.000 They picked the cone up, put it in the middle of the sidewalk.

01:11:45.000 She pulled a crown out of her purse and put it on top and walked away. 1.00

01:11:49.000 That's what anonymous is.

01:11:51.000 It was literally people on the message board goofing off the whole time.

01:11:54.000 It just so happened that some of these people literally downloaded a denial of service app and then went to prison for it.

01:12:02.000 And then you did have a group called LulzSec, LulzSecurity, that was a group of, I think, what was it, like nine people or something?

01:12:11.000 And they started claiming they were anonymous because they actually knew, I don't know, what did they do, SQL injection?

01:12:18.000 Like, really low-tier, like, breaking into websites.

01:12:24.000 Does SQL injection even work anymore?

01:12:27.000 SQL injection?

01:12:29.000 On old websites, maybe.

01:12:31.000 It's not going to work on anything.

01:12:32.000 You'd be surprised.

01:12:34.000 Yeah, that's kind of scary.

01:12:35.000 You're probably right.

01:12:37.000 It's been 15 years.

01:12:38.000 For those that don't know what it is, it's...

01:12:41.000 You're basically putting code into the password box because the way the old passwords worked, imagine this.

01:12:49.000 There is a box and it's empty and then next to it is text.

01:12:53.000 And it says, hey, my password is blank.

01:12:57.000 Please let me in.

01:12:59.000 Underneath that box, it says, if you are hearing someone call and their password is banana, let them in.

01:13:07.000 What SQL Injection did was, in that box, it says, hey, my name is blank, let me in.

01:13:12.000 You would put in this massive line of text where it'd say, hey, my name is, wait, hold on a minute.

01:13:17.000 You actually didn't know my name.

01:13:18.000 Open the door anyway.

01:13:19.000 Please let me in.

01:13:20.000 And then the door opens.

01:13:21.000 That's how it worked.

01:13:22.000 At this point, it's really just gotten to the point where technology has advanced so far.

01:13:27.000 Nobody cares about what used to be a problem that we fixed.

01:13:30.000 So they just stopped focusing on that.

01:13:32.000 That's how you're going to get it again.

01:13:34.000 I mean, I've got to be honest.

01:13:37.000 There may be small businesses, but if seriously these techniques still work, I would be very surprised.

01:13:43.000 I'm like, anything that mattered?

01:13:45.000 I'm talking about like...

01:13:46.000 SQL injection.

01:13:47.000 So back when Anonymous was doing things, it was random people bored on the internet.

01:13:53.000 And it's really crazy what bored people on the internet can do.

01:13:57.000 But for some of the higher profile things, like literally on David Pakman's show...

01:14:01.000 Quote, unquote, anonymous hacked the Westboro Baptist Church.

01:14:04.000 That was actually a small group of hackers.

01:14:09.000 They call them script kitties.

01:14:10.000 It means they copied and pasted scripts they got from other websites and actually know how to do it.

01:14:15.000 And they very easily broke into rudimentary websites and made it look like they were powerful.

01:14:20.000 They wanted to claim that they were anonymous, but they weren't.

01:14:22.000 There is no Anonymous.

01:14:24.000 I'm saying that type of video is the type of showmanship that actually does affect a bunch of people.

01:14:29.000 Like you said, somebody's liberal aunt is going to end up showing them this as if they just said something really profound when all it was was smoke and mirrors and theater.

01:14:37.000 The reality is that if Anonymous was a group, it's pro-Trump and it got Trump elected.

01:14:42.000 I'm not kidding.

01:14:43.000 On 4chan, all the memes were pro-Trump, and it was meme magic.

01:14:46.000 Shia LaBeouf and Flagg.

01:14:48.000 Oh, God.

01:14:49.000 Right, watch the mini-documentary on meme magic and how Trump got elected.

01:14:53.000 There was a post on...

01:14:54.000 It's crazy.

01:14:55.000 Do you guys know about this stuff?

01:14:56.000 I bring it up from time to time.

01:14:57.000 Shane should do an episode on this.

01:15:00.000 On 4chan, there's a string of numbers that appear.

01:15:03.000 Actually, let me pull this up.

01:15:04.000 I'll grab the image for you.

01:15:05.000 Trump wins 4chan 77777. Let me see if I can get this image.

01:15:12.000 Where is it?

01:15:13.000 Careful.

01:15:13.000 I got it.

01:15:14.000 I'm not going to 4chan.

01:15:16.000 That's just a scary place to be.

01:15:18.000 Okay, well, this is a very crude image, but I'm going to pull it up anyway.

01:15:22.000 So, this is really low res.

01:15:24.000 That doesn't really matter.

01:15:25.000 Take a look at all of these little blue boxes.

01:15:28.000 That's the string of text.

01:15:30.000 They wrote, Trump will win, and it's all sevens.

01:15:34.000 Yep.

01:15:35.000 They responded to every single person.

01:15:38.000 Each one of these little blue boxes has a string of numbers.

01:15:40.000 It's just low res.

01:15:41.000 They responded to all of these people.

01:15:43.000 Trump will win.

01:15:44.000 And when they did, it went 77777777. Yep.

01:15:48.000 Wait, I think I got...

01:15:50.000 Maybe I can find a higher-res one.

01:15:51.000 For people, if you don't know, getting three numbers the same up in there or double at the end is a big deal.

01:15:58.000 And on 4chan, if you get quad, they call it quads.

01:16:02.000 That's huge, huge.

01:16:04.000 So if there's, I don't know, a full line of seven with Trump will win, that's hilarious.

01:16:11.000 I can't find a higher-res image of it anymore.

01:16:15.000 The history has been erased.

01:16:17.000 They have stolen our history from us.

01:16:19.000 See what they've taken from us?

01:16:22.000 Well, they was Google.

01:16:26.000 Sorry, I had to call it out.

01:16:27.000 I hear they all the time, and I gotta wonder.

01:16:30.000 But there's this video on YouTube that talks about the history of the meme magic, and it is nuts.

01:16:37.000 So, I'll give you the quick version.

01:16:40.000 In World of Warcraft...

01:16:42.000 Biggest game in 2006. There's the Horde and the Alliance, two different factions, and you can player versus player against them.

01:16:49.000 When you're playing as the Alliance, I think it actually works both ways, but I played Alliance.

01:16:56.000 If you encounter someone from the Horde, they speak a different language, so you can't communicate with them.

01:17:00.000 If they typed in LOL, the fake translator in the game would turn it into K-E-K. What happened is a meme emerged, where young people, millennials, millennial men, Who knew this started responding on social media with Keck instead of LOL. Because we all knew that Keck meant laugh out loud.

01:17:19.000 In the game Life is Strange, the first one, the young male character texts the main character Keck on her sidekick at her old mobile phone.

01:17:29.000 That's how popular it was.

01:17:30.000 So it turns out that...

01:17:33.000 Wait, let me pause.

01:17:34.000 There's also Pepe the Frog.

01:17:36.000 Pepe the Frog was from a comic, and it's not really that, but it became a popular character.

01:17:42.000 Everybody knows Pepe.

01:17:43.000 Pepe was a green frog.

01:17:44.000 Fun fact.

01:17:46.000 Member of your Discord, my co-host, Michael Leo, was there for a lot of the Pepe creations.

01:17:52.000 So Pepe was originally just some random comic by some guy, and there was a line where he said, Someone took a screenshot of it and used it as a meme to represent...

01:18:04.000 When things feel good, Pepe became popular.

01:18:06.000 So now you have Kek and a green frog.

01:18:09.000 As it turns out, Kek is an Egyptian god of mischief and chaos and darkness who is represented as a frog. 0.99

01:18:17.000 This is part of the meme magic that people didn't realize.

01:18:22.000 And then you get Châtelet.

01:18:24.000 You guys know about Châtelet?

01:18:25.000 So this was a song by a band called Pepe, and the cover of the album was a green frog.

01:18:31.000 I think it was doing it with a magic wand or something.

01:18:34.000 I don't know.

01:18:35.000 All of these weird coincidences built around this culture at the time, and everyone on 4chan was making memes of Trump as Pepe or various Pepe memes, and that's why people believe they memed Trump into the presidency with meme magic.

01:18:46.000 Yep.

01:18:47.000 And that's why people talk about the...

01:18:49.000 Yep, it's a frog with a magic wand.

01:18:53.000 Yeah.

01:18:53.000 All the pictures of J.D. Vance, like all the different J.D. Vances that you see, people are talking about that being a new...

01:19:00.000 I mean, honestly...

01:19:29.000 Can we stop with the J.D. Vance memes?

01:19:31.000 No.

01:19:33.000 We clearly cannot.

01:19:34.000 J.D. Vance is a vanilla pudding vice president, but he's present.

01:19:40.000 And I mean that in a respectful way, that he's very, like, C+. You know what I mean?

01:19:46.000 The memes have made him an A-plus personality.

01:19:48.000 They have boosted him from a C-rank personality to an A-rank personality.

01:19:52.000 It was that, and before that, it was, I don't really care, Margaret, and he leaned into it.

01:19:56.000 He's got it going.

01:19:57.000 It can only help him, too, because Trump had so much name recognition leading up to his presidency and before that I actually asked the question.

01:20:04.000 I said, look, what do they do?

01:20:06.000 After that, there is a position that needs to be filled where there's so much of what's going on in politics right now is revolving around Trump and those around him that anybody who's going to succeed him is going to have to build a strong cult of personality around themselves as well.

01:20:24.000 I mean, I guess maybe.

01:20:27.000 Granted, they don't have anybody to offer on the left either.

01:20:30.000 Well, yeah, I mean, that could change in four years too.

01:20:31.000 But the cult of personality, I think that it is less dependent on that than it is on a successful presidency of Donald Trump.

01:20:40.000 If Donald Trump has a successful presidency and the last year, year and a half of Donald Trump's presidency, the American people feel good about their place and where they are in their life and stuff, then I think that it will be likely that J.D. Vance will get into office.

01:20:56.000 If they're not happy, then I imagine it would be a tough sell.

01:21:00.000 One of the things they said was when Trump gave that interview and he said that they asked, is J.D. Vance your successor?

01:21:05.000 He said no.

01:21:07.000 And that was to shield him in case people end up not being happy towards what happens during his presidency.

01:21:13.000 And that helps him if he wants to run later.

01:21:16.000 Yeah, I mean, that's fair enough.

01:21:18.000 But I mean, obviously, if J.D. Vance does run, we'll know in two years or so if he's going to run.

01:21:26.000 And he will want to have the president's endorsement.

01:21:31.000 Even if Donald Trump isn't doing great, he will still want the president to endorse him.

01:21:35.000 How often has a vice president actually effectively then gone on to become the president?

01:21:40.000 How many times has that happened?

01:21:41.000 Last time it happened was Bush Sr. Yeah.

01:21:45.000 And he only lost...

01:21:46.000 Because of Ross Perot.

01:21:46.000 Yeah.

01:21:47.000 And also, there is an argument that if it wasn't for...

01:21:53.000 There's an argument that Gore, there you go, was actually won as well, even though he lost the electoral college.

01:22:03.000 Lost Florida.

01:22:04.000 14 vice presidents have gone to become president.

01:22:07.000 Indeed.

01:22:08.000 Let's jump to this next big story.

01:22:10.000 Ladies and gentlemen, RFK Jr. is going to eliminate the grass exemption. 0.96

01:22:15.000 If you don't know what that means, I'll give you the simple version.

01:22:17.000 A video was put out where he basically said generally recognized as safe was intended for salt and baking powder so that when companies wanted to include these things, they didn't need to do extensive testing to determine whether or not they were safe because they were generally recognized as safe.

01:22:34.000 However, since then, he says, it's turned into a so long as we don't know it causes harm, it is safe.

01:22:40.000 That's not what it was intended to be.

01:22:41.000 He has stated he's instructed.

01:22:44.000 Actually, let's just do this.

01:22:46.000 We have a story from Informa.

01:22:47.000 They say that RFK Jr. on Monday directed the Food and Drug Administration to explore potential rulemaking that would revise the grass safe rule, generally recognized as safe, which allows food manufacturers to bypass pre-market review on certain chemicals or additives if they are considered safe among qualified experts.

01:23:06.000 Companies have two pathways to achieve grass status.

01:23:09.000 While companies can petition the FDA to review an ingredient and grant it grass status, they can also self-affirm that their products are safe based on their products.

01:23:17.000 The health secretary called out the self-affirmed pathway to regulatory approval, saying manufacturers have exploited a loophole to allow new chemicals into the food supply, often with unknown safety data.

01:23:30.000 So, with this major move, West Virginia is currently in limbo on their artificial food dye ban.

01:23:38.000 I say this, West Virginia, you've got no choice.

01:23:40.000 It's coming sooner or later.

01:23:41.000 And you have an opportunity to get ahead of this before it's too late.

01:23:44.000 Because when he nukes this rule, the food dyes are out.

01:23:47.000 All of these weird chemicals are out.

01:23:49.000 The ingredients are going to be like flour, water, sugar.

01:23:53.000 Hopefully.

01:23:54.000 I mean, I would love to see actual movement on this.

01:23:59.000 I think that the garbage that's put into food in the United States is mostly unnecessary.

01:24:08.000 I've been to Europe a bunch of times, and they have a bunch of rules on the stuff that can be put into food, and it tastes good, and you don't have the same kind of BMIs in Europe, generally.

01:24:23.000 Even fast food in Europe tastes generally healthier.

01:24:26.000 McDonald's is better in Europe, usually.

01:24:28.000 It's put together and made by someone that doesn't hate your guts.

01:24:30.000 What's interesting is that I've heard from a lot of people, when they're eating food in the United States, Even if they're not eating that much, they gain lots of weight.

01:24:40.000 And then, we heard this quite a bit, actually, you go to Europe, you eat the exact same things, you lose weight.

01:24:45.000 Now, I got some questions about that.

01:24:49.000 I'm wondering, because I've heard this from a lot of people, they say, outside of the U.S., I'll eat the same food I normally eat, and I'm losing weight, but in the U.S., I gain weight.

01:24:56.000 And I'm like, you never measure your portions, right?

01:25:00.000 So if you're in Europe, and you order, like, steak frites, How many fries do they give you?

01:25:07.000 How much oil was used on those fries?

01:25:09.000 How much salt was put on the fries?

01:25:10.000 And how big is the steak?

01:25:11.000 Is it cut slightly thinner?

01:25:13.000 Whatever.

01:25:13.000 Now you're probably going to say, no, I ordered an 8-ounce steak.

01:25:16.000 Okay.

01:25:17.000 What about the French fries?

01:25:18.000 We never measure these things.

01:25:19.000 I think American portion sizes are ridiculous, and Americans don't notice that when you order a burger in the U.S. at a diner, it's this big. 0.76

01:25:30.000 When you get a sandwich in Europe, it's a lot smaller. 0.95

01:25:33.000 Or that could be the answer.

01:25:34.000 I don't know.

01:25:35.000 I mean, also, depending on where you're living there, it's not just the ingredients.

01:25:38.000 They live in cities where they're walking rather than driving a lot of the time.

01:25:42.000 So there's drastic lifestyle changes that make a huge difference there as well.

01:25:47.000 Yeah, I mean, I think it's true, but I also think things like the corn syrup subsidies and the amount of corn syrup and sugar that's in food in America.

01:25:58.000 It's substantial.

01:25:59.000 Well, no.

01:25:59.000 I'm from corn country, Phil.

01:26:01.000 We've got to have those corn subsidies. 1.00

01:26:03.000 I would end them in a second, given the opportunity.

01:26:06.000 But, I mean, that's just me.

01:26:08.000 Look, humans don't need to eat so much sugar. 0.99

01:26:12.000 Diabetes is a massive problem in the United States.

01:26:16.000 Obesity is a massive problem in the United States.

01:26:18.000 And whatever we can do to help dull the effects from the obesity epidemic...

01:26:27.000 I'm kind of for it.

01:26:29.000 It is like 70% of America is overweight.

01:26:33.000 40% of America is obese.

01:26:35.000 Like, no wonder why we have a crisis with births. 1.00

01:26:40.000 Everyone looks like crap. 0.99

01:26:42.000 So I recently... 0.99

01:26:44.000 So we order, my family, imported European organic wheat.

01:26:52.000 And it's because all the hippies are like, order your wheat from Europe because the American stuff has who knows what in it.

01:26:58.000 However, when we had Dr. Malone on the culture war, he said that glyphosate is banned in Europe.

01:27:03.000 I looked it up.

01:27:04.000 It's not.

01:27:04.000 Glyphosate is not banned in Europe.

01:27:06.000 And so I don't know why he thought that was the case, but it's not.

01:27:09.000 So I then said, okay, so maybe the European stuff is just as bad. 0.93

01:27:15.000 So I went on the internet and I ordered einkorn, I think it's called.

01:27:20.000 einkorn wheat.

01:27:21.000 It's one of the first plants to ever be domesticated or cultivated.

01:27:25.000 And it's the bags is a 12,000 year old wheat strain, never modified, never hybridized.

01:27:32.000 And it is glyphosate residue free certified.

01:27:36.000 So for breakfast, I took some of that.

01:27:39.000 I took some farm fresh eggs right from chicken city butts.

01:27:43.000 And I made waffles with it.

01:27:45.000 And we are eating food that is as close to normal as it can be.

01:27:49.000 No more weird THBQ or whatever it's called and artificial dyes.

01:27:54.000 And it is quite delicious.

01:27:56.000 And, because we're in mapling country, most don't know this, it's not that far away.

01:28:00.000 You can get up in PA and stuff, a lot of mapling going on.

01:28:02.000 We have a big jug of pure, organic, fresh, from the farm, maple syrup.

01:28:07.000 Not from Canada.

01:28:09.000 Not from Canada.

01:28:10.000 I gotta be honest.

01:28:12.000 Someone from Canada gave me maple syrup.

01:28:13.000 It got me sick.

01:28:15.000 I'm just being real.

01:28:16.000 And I was like...

01:28:18.000 Certainly it's not the maple syrup.

01:28:19.000 That's just sugar. 0.65

01:28:20.000 So I had some again.

01:28:21.000 Got sick again.

01:28:21.000 I was like, okay, I'm not going to eat this anymore.

01:28:23.000 The American stuff, everything was fine.

01:28:25.000 Was it a friend that gave it to you?

01:28:27.000 Yeah, someone came on the show and they were like, hey, maple syrup.

01:28:29.000 And I was like, oh, great.

01:28:30.000 We love maple syrup.

01:28:31.000 Maybe they have a vendetta against you.

01:28:32.000 No, I think Canada, we just want to buy American.

01:28:35.000 Look, man, there's a lot of maple trees in Vermont and New Hampshire.

01:28:38.000 That's all I'm saying.

01:28:39.000 We got maple trees out here.

01:28:40.000 And here's some other important facts.

01:28:45.000 Black walnut trees.

01:28:46.000 Can be tapped for delicious syrup.

01:28:48.000 They say it tastes like butterscotch.

01:28:49.000 A lot harder to do because black walnut trees aren't as big.

01:28:52.000 And you need more of it.

01:28:54.000 But there's also other trees.

01:28:56.000 Which one is it?

01:28:58.000 It's not the Box Elder, is it?

01:29:01.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:29:02.000 Box Elders. 0.87

01:29:03.000 It is a species of maple, but its sap is...

01:29:06.000 It takes a lot more to make.

01:29:09.000 But you can get sweet, delicious, sugary goo out of many trees.

01:29:14.000 Just make sure you look it up.

01:29:15.000 Some of them are dangerous and you'll die, so don't do it.

01:29:17.000 But everybody gets maple and I'm like, what about black walnut syrup?

01:29:21.000 Yeah, but see, Tim, that's natural selection working for us.

01:29:24.000 We got a population that needs to be smarter, so let the...

01:29:30.000 Let me stop you there and say this.

01:29:33.000 I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all of the people who ate mushrooms before me and died so that I know which ones are safe to eat.

01:29:40.000 That is the history of humanity.

01:29:42.000 Yeah.

01:29:43.000 Like Into the Wild, the book, Into the Wild.

01:29:45.000 Well, there's a meme where it's like, be caveman.

01:29:48.000 See red berry.

01:29:49.000 Say, Ugg, eat berry.

01:29:50.000 Ugg, eat berry.

01:29:51.000 Ugg, sleep.

01:29:52.000 Ugg, sleep many moons.

01:29:53.000 Ugg, no, wake up.

01:29:54.000 Maybe no, eat berry.

01:29:56.000 I think, yep!

01:29:57.000 That's how humans figured it out.

01:29:59.000 Hey, look at that one.

01:30:00.000 Should we eat it?

01:30:00.000 I don't know.

01:30:01.000 You go first.

01:30:02.000 Probably shouldn't eat that one.

01:30:04.000 Now they just check an app on their phone.

01:30:06.000 They take a picture of it and they say, is this safe to eat?

01:30:09.000 You can do that.

01:30:10.000 Yeah, what's the app?

01:30:12.000 Picture this.

01:30:12.000 I think there are multiple apps that do that, to be honest with you.

01:30:14.000 There's an app called Picture This that will tell you any plant.

01:30:18.000 Is that why society feels so helpless these days?

01:30:20.000 It's because you just literally have something to help you with everything?

01:30:23.000 I mean, I'm not sure about why society feels so helpless, but...

01:30:26.000 The next generation feeling helpless because they haven't actually performed the tasks without some type of aid.

01:30:32.000 I mean, maybe.

01:30:34.000 There is a means for a computer to do most things for you nowadays.

01:30:39.000 Considering everyone's walking around with their phone, you don't need to know math anymore.

01:30:45.000 You don't need to know...

01:30:46.000 Not that I'm any good at math at all.

01:30:48.000 I'm terrible at it, but...

01:30:49.000 I half agree.

01:30:50.000 I think...

01:30:52.000 There are circumstances where if you know the math or have a general understanding of the stuff, you can apply it rather quickly as opposed to trying to look it up right away.

01:31:03.000 I'll put it like this.

01:31:04.000 I would rather know how to play a song than be like, I can probably play it, let me look up the music.

01:31:09.000 In a circumstance where someone hands me a guitar and says play a song, give me a second, let me grab my phone, I'm going to look up a song.

01:31:14.000 That's fine, but it's not a life or death situation.

01:31:17.000 Or I can just be like, I know how to play a song, I can just play it.

01:31:19.000 In what I do, data analytics, I do a lot of math.

01:31:23.000 I can do the math.

01:31:25.000 I've just found it's easier, more often than not, to code in my math solutions so that way I don't have to remember how to do it every time.

01:31:33.000 You know?

01:31:35.000 I literally work here so that I don't have to do math.

01:31:38.000 Math is your friend.

01:31:39.000 You should learn math.

01:31:42.000 You know, the reality is, though, I think Americans have another sickness, and that is laziness.

01:31:51.000 But we have faulty child rearing.

01:31:55.000 So the most important years of a child's life are zero through five.

01:32:00.000 That is where the neurons are developing and the brain is adapting.

01:32:04.000 So you've heard of people who are tone deaf.

01:32:07.000 This is because they weren't exposed to music and didn't have a practice or understanding of it in formative years.

01:32:13.000 So you get old enough and you're like, my brain does not process this thing.

01:32:17.000 A really easy way to understand this as a problem is, If you've ever heard the story of the girl who was, like, locked in a basement for, like, 15 years, when they finally released her, she struggled to speak.

01:32:30.000 She could only say certain words and spoke very strangely.

01:32:33.000 And there is another story of a girl that lived in the wild and struggled to survive when they found her at, like, 10 or whatever.

01:32:39.000 She never learned how to talk.

01:32:41.000 She could only ever say single words, like, eat, eat, me eat.

01:32:46.000 She could not, because babies from Zero to Five.

01:32:50.000 Their brains are starting to develop to adapt to the world around them, and if you isolate a human from these things, they will not develop it.

01:32:56.000 In the United States, what do babies do between the ages of zero and five?

01:33:01.000 Well, nowadays, they basically look at an iPad all the time.

01:33:05.000 Sure do, and they're seeing psychotic nonsense.

01:33:09.000 The younger generation, the babies from today, or I'd say in the past, maybe even 10 years, are going, like... 1.00

01:33:18.000 Damn, dude. 0.97

01:33:19.000 10-year-olds, when they're in their 20s and 30s, are going to be some of the... 0.99

01:33:23.000 We're going to have serious problems.

01:33:25.000 Serious problems.

01:33:25.000 Did you see the stories about kids going into kindergarten in the UK and they don't know how to walk upstairs and they don't know how to turn the pages on books?

01:33:32.000 Wow.

01:33:33.000 Yeah.

01:33:34.000 Well, they can't read analog clocks anymore.

01:33:36.000 Yeah, well, and they were saying, like, people were naive to not realize the damage that COVID was going to do between distance learning and masks to kids in their formative years.

01:33:45.000 So, my concern is, Knowing that if you don't expose people to this information or to these abilities, it's going to stunt them.

01:33:58.000 You take a look at the millennial generation and you can see its effects. 0.80

01:34:02.000 You take a look at, you go back to 200 years.

01:34:08.000 Kids grew up watching their parents do the work and they were working as children on the family farm and they grew up understanding all these things.

01:34:15.000 They didn't necessarily know math or whatever.

01:34:17.000 Now we've got kids who do literally nothing from zero through five.

01:34:21.000 They're looking at tablets.

01:34:22.000 Their brains are being wired for psychotic things like Elsagate, Cocomelon, whatever it might be.

01:34:30.000 When they're older, they're all going to be really, really messed up. 0.80

01:34:33.000 And you think LGBTQ now is crazy with all the LGBTQIA2SP, whatever. 1.00

01:34:39.000 Think about what it's going to be like.

01:34:41.000 When people have built identities around internet videos of Hitler with a woman's body wearing a bikini.

01:34:48.000 Not kidding.

01:34:49.000 That was actually part of the Finger Family Elsagate scandal.

01:34:51.000 These kids, their brains wired based on this.

01:34:55.000 So furries, right?

01:34:57.000 What is the psychological phenomena for furries?

01:35:00.000 Why are there individuals who want to dress up like cartoon animals?

01:35:03.000 Looney Tunes, right?

01:35:04.000 That's probably it.

01:35:06.000 I'd hypothesize it's because of anthropomorphized animals in Disney and Looney Tunes, and these people at a young age developed an identification with what they were watching on TV. It's like the people that developed the deep hatred for Barney.

01:35:19.000 Here's something for you.

01:35:20.000 How come there were no furries in 1930?

01:35:24.000 I think that that kind of stuff has a lot to do with the fact that there are...

01:35:29.000 With the advent of the internet, there are, just like you said before, there are people that will support all of your decisions.

01:35:36.000 You want to bang a toaster, there's a group where you can go ahead and find people that want to bang a toaster.

01:35:39.000 Yeah, don't do that.

01:35:40.000 It's not just that, but it's...

01:35:41.000 You can do a lot of different things in the privacy of your own home.

01:35:46.000 Whereas in the 1930s, you couldn't go to a movie theater, see Minnie Mouse on the screen and say, yeah, I want to bang her.

01:35:51.000 I mean, that would not have been acceptable in any society.

01:35:54.000 But nowadays, you can...

01:35:55.000 Find a community.

01:35:57.000 Find that community and say, yep, I agree with this, and I can do it from privacy in my own home, and I don't have to look like a weird guy.

01:36:04.000 Indeed.

01:36:05.000 I mean, not look like a weird guy publicly, you know?

01:36:10.000 But the thing is, they don't even worry about that now because so much of it gets put out on social media where it's not just that they're weird.

01:36:16.000 They want you to understand it and they want you to be okay with it.

01:36:19.000 That's because of the culture of always lifting up and centering the margins and, oh, everything's...

01:36:29.000 We don't kink shame, blah, blah, blah.

01:36:30.000 No, you should kink shame furries. 1.00

01:36:32.000 You should definitely kink shame furries. 1.00

01:36:34.000 Well, but it's an identity, not a kink. 0.74

01:36:36.000 You should shame those identities.

01:36:38.000 I'm fine with that.

01:36:39.000 Right, but that's the thing that people need to understand.

01:36:42.000 While there certainly are weird furries who do weird kink things, like we have people who message us all the time. 0.80

01:36:47.000 It's a play identity thing.

01:36:49.000 Some people deeply identify as animals.

01:36:51.000 They wear cat ears and tails and they walk around in public like this.

01:36:54.000 It's because as babies, they attach to something.

01:36:59.000 They identify with something.

01:37:01.000 So it didn't used to be possible, but now with the weird things in media, A child is looking at a screen, a baby, and seeing a lion talk.

01:37:09.000 And then as they get older, they're like, but lion talk.

01:37:12.000 I'm a lion.

01:37:13.000 And they're not.

01:37:14.000 It was like Otherkin before Furries.

01:37:16.000 No, Otherkin was way after Furries.

01:37:20.000 Timeline-wise, how long after?

01:37:22.000 Bro, Furries have been around for a long time.

01:37:24.000 Otherkin was a product of the Tumblr era in the 2000s.

01:37:26.000 It's like the guy who said he worked at a grocery store and said he would transform into a wolf on shift and his boss would just have to be like...

01:37:34.000 Whatever.

01:37:35.000 He's not hurting any customers, I guess.

01:37:38.000 Yep.

01:37:39.000 And so, anyway, my point is, we have obesity for a variety of reasons.

01:37:44.000 I believe chemicals in our food contribute to this.

01:37:46.000 I believe the internet contributes to this.

01:37:48.000 I think you've got people who are working remote and they no longer walk anymore.

01:37:53.000 And we don't walk to get food.

01:37:54.000 We do Uber and Amazon.

01:37:55.000 We no longer walk to groceries.

01:37:56.000 We used to walk down Main Street and go to each store and then carry back the groceries in your arms.

01:38:02.000 And we're just not...

01:38:03.000 We're not working out.

01:38:05.000 The healthiest I was mentally and physically was at a time when I did not drive, did not have a car, and had to walk to get everywhere because it was a natural way of staying in shape without even thinking of it as exercise on top of skating every day.

01:38:18.000 We're going to go to Super Chat!

01:38:20.000 So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button.

01:38:22.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

01:38:23.000 Become a member of Rumble Premium.

01:38:26.000 Go to TimCastPremium.com.

01:38:28.000 Sign up.

01:38:29.000 Use promo code Tim10.

01:38:31.000 And I guess the cat's out of the bag on what's going on next week with Dan Bongino's show officially ended.

01:38:36.000 Shout out to Dan.

01:38:37.000 Thank you for joining the FBI.

01:38:38.000 It's a tremendous sacrifice, a great honor to see you.

01:38:42.000 We'll be fighting for accountability and justice for all of us as Americans.

01:38:46.000 We are privileged.

01:38:47.000 But you were mentioning that the quartering already announced this.

01:38:50.000 They played a video of Stephen Crowder saying this whole lineup of people.

01:38:55.000 Oh, right on.

01:38:56.000 I think, yeah, Crowder put out a video.

01:38:58.000 Yeah.

01:38:58.000 Next week.

01:39:00.000 The Tim Pool Daily Show will be at noon on Rumble Exclusive.

01:39:05.000 So for all the YouTube clips I do in the morning, those are going to stay at the same exact time.

01:39:08.000 So at 10, noon, 1, 3, and 4, there will be clips on the Tim Pool Morning Show.

01:39:12.000 However, I will be live on Rumble exclusively at noon till 1 in the lineup doing what is effectively the morning show.

01:39:21.000 So it'll just be different topics.

01:39:23.000 The 10 a.m.

01:39:24.000 on YouTube will stay the same, but there will be a larger show.

01:39:27.000 And what we're going for with this show is...

01:39:29.000 Whereas right now the live morning show I do is single topic based for an hour with some super chats.

01:39:35.000 This one's probably going to be like 40 minutes and then we're actually probably going to start booking some guests.

01:39:42.000 Zoom calls.

01:39:43.000 You know, real quick like 5-10 minute hits where we'll bring someone in at the end of the show.

01:39:48.000 And yes, it should be fun.

01:39:50.000 It should be fun.

01:39:51.000 And I think it's going to be massive.

01:39:54.000 The play here, I think, from Rumble is going to...

01:39:57.000 I think it's going to end up with...

01:39:59.000 These shows are all going to be some of the biggest podcasts in the space based on the strategy being implemented.

01:40:06.000 But we'll see.

01:40:07.000 We'll see.

01:40:07.000 So become a member.

01:40:08.000 Follow me on X. All that good stuff.

01:40:10.000 Let's read some super chats.

01:40:11.000 We got Jason Dixon.

01:40:11.000 It says, Tim, you're clueless on work from home.

01:40:14.000 Big companies ran on conference calls for years.

01:40:17.000 More work means more work, not raises.

01:40:20.000 Remote teams work fine.

01:40:21.000 Your take is bad management.

01:40:23.000 Who's paying you to push this?

01:40:24.000 That last question proves that the question was derived of someone who was angry and lazy.

01:40:30.000 I can actually push back.

01:40:32.000 In my work, I do performance management, which means for a work-from-home staff, I get to evaluate all sorts of different metrics and how they carry out their jobs, and I can put a number to anything.

01:40:46.000 And I can definitively show you where, if we have a group of associates working from home...

01:40:52.000 Compared to a group of people who have to be in the office, I can show you the efficiency differences.

01:40:57.000 It does exist.

01:40:59.000 But what does that mean?

01:41:00.000 Which one's better?

01:41:00.000 Usually the people in the office.

01:41:02.000 Right.

01:41:03.000 So work from home is a failure.

01:41:06.000 Your company will suffer for it no matter what.

01:41:08.000 There's very rare instances where working remote or from home actually works or makes sense.

01:41:14.000 And it's a general cultural detriment.

01:41:16.000 And it will leave you as an employee stagnant.

01:41:21.000 And in many instances, a failure.

01:41:24.000 The people who want to work from home want to do so because they want the comforts of their home.

01:41:30.000 They don't want to go to work.

01:41:32.000 But I'll put it this way.

01:41:33.000 If your job is, like for me, to complain on the internet.

01:41:38.000 Well, I want to be in the studio complaining.

01:41:40.000 I want to do this.

01:41:42.000 I have no boss.

01:41:43.000 I do this because I want to.

01:41:45.000 There's no question of work from home.

01:41:47.000 I come here because I enjoy coming here every day.

01:41:50.000 For people whose jobs, let's say you're like a chemist.

01:41:54.000 You don't do chemistry at home.

01:41:56.000 You go to the lab because you want to do the research you're doing.

01:42:00.000 You want to work on the projects you're working on.

01:42:01.000 The people who work in office settings, be it insurance, be it creative, they want to work from home because they don't want to do that job.

01:42:09.000 And they can say anything they want to me.

01:42:12.000 Actions speak louder than words.

01:42:14.000 I say it to everybody who walks through these doors.

01:42:16.000 You want to work here?

01:42:19.000 If at any point I feel, or it is apparent, that you don't actually want to be here, you shouldn't be.

01:42:25.000 And so that's how we run things.

01:42:27.000 If it comes to a point where someone's like, I think I'm going to work from home instead, I'll be like, go for it.

01:42:33.000 Then after a certain amount of time, I'll be like, clearly you don't want to be here, and maybe you should not be.

01:42:37.000 If you want to be here, you will be.

01:42:39.000 But J.P. Morgan, this is a response to a video I made, nailed it.

01:42:43.000 He hit the nail on the head with the hammer.

01:42:44.000 He said, if you're a young person, And you're working from home, you will be left behind.

01:42:49.000 You will not get work experience.

01:42:50.000 You will not get office experience.

01:42:51.000 You will not be debating with anybody.

01:42:53.000 You will not be available for special projects.

01:42:55.000 And by the time you actually come to show up to work, you're going to find that your peers have all been promoted and been given raises.

01:43:01.000 Simple enough.

01:43:02.000 I imagine that a big part of it is understanding the office culture is understanding the people that you work with and developing relationships there, and that's a lot harder to do if you're not there.

01:43:10.000 It's impossible to do.

01:43:11.000 You got two guys, Bill and Rick.

01:43:14.000 And they both work for a company doing data entry.

01:43:19.000 And Bill says, I can do this from home.

01:43:22.000 And the boss says, sure, just get it done.

01:43:24.000 Rick says, I'll come into the office.

01:43:25.000 I got no problem.

01:43:27.000 Rick shows up.

01:43:28.000 One day the boss is in the lunchroom saying, I just need somebody who can.

01:43:33.000 We don't need to hire somebody.

01:43:35.000 It's only an extra hour once a week to do this job.

01:43:38.000 Who can do it?

01:43:39.000 And then Rick goes, yo, boss, I can do that.

01:43:41.000 And he goes.

01:43:41.000 You can do this.

01:43:42.000 Friday's at noon.

01:43:43.000 He goes, I gotcha.

01:43:44.000 And he goes, thanks, Rick.

01:43:45.000 I won't forget it.

01:43:46.000 Rick comes up for a performance review and he goes, you picked up the slack when we really needed it.

01:43:50.000 We're going to give you a 5% raise on top of your inflationary raise.

01:43:53.000 I know you didn't ask for it, but we really like what you're doing.

01:43:55.000 Bill shows up and they're like, hey, Bill.

01:43:58.000 A year goes by at that pace.

01:44:01.000 Rick's a supervising manager.

01:44:03.000 He's got a team of data analysts.

01:44:05.000 And Bill, they say...

01:44:07.000 Hey, we're going to be relocating our data entry team.

01:44:11.000 Rick's now in charge.

01:44:13.000 They're going to be working out of this office in another city where Rick is relocating to and taking the team with him.

01:44:18.000 Bill, you're being laid off.

01:44:19.000 Thanks for working for us.

01:44:21.000 There you go.

01:44:21.000 You work from home.

01:44:22.000 You do what you want to do.

01:44:23.000 That's how it goes.

01:44:24.000 For us, when you work in creative spaces, I tell the story all the time because it just happened.

01:44:31.000 We were making a joke about Pop-Tarts.

01:44:33.000 We decided to film a vlog about Pop-Tarts and buy a bunch of Pop-Tarts.

01:44:36.000 That idea cannot happen if everyone's working remote.

01:44:39.000 So I am anti-remote work 100%.

01:44:42.000 Rare exceptions.

01:44:44.000 There are very rare exceptions.

01:44:46.000 Because where it makes sense, it can make sense.

01:44:49.000 There's a ton of times where when All That Remains was writing songs, we would be, we'd have two people talking, like, kind of not listening to each other.

01:44:57.000 Our old drummer and guitar player used to do this all the time.

01:44:59.000 They would kind of talk past each other, and they would be like, okay, yeah, okay, and they would think they understood what the other person was saying, and they'd go ahead and they'd try the idea or whatever, and it wouldn't actually work out, but someone else like Mike or myself would go, ooh, ooh, ooh, that gives me this idea.

01:45:17.000 And so the mess-up sometimes will produce the creative spark for a new idea.

01:45:23.000 Why do we have the Discord server?

01:45:25.000 Exactly.

01:45:26.000 Because I understand it's all remote, but people are in it constantly talking to each other.

01:45:31.000 It is taking a brain and a brain and drawing a line between the two of them.

01:45:35.000 Why do we want coffee shops? 0.74

01:45:36.000 Exact same thing.

01:45:37.000 What we're doing with Rumble Premium and the network effect?

01:45:40.000 Same exact thing.

01:45:41.000 Connecting Steven Crowder's Mug Club with the TimCast Premium members, connecting those lines, building as many neuron connections as possible.

01:45:49.000 When you are working from home, you are not producing the maximum, and you are, conference calls, Are fake.

01:45:56.000 They're fake.

01:45:57.000 Sorry, it's just not real.

01:45:58.000 The reason why we don't do Zoom calls for this show is that you cannot effectively communicate over the internet.

01:46:04.000 Impossible.

01:46:05.000 Anytime I do streams, like on other days where I go on other people's shows, it's always harder when it's done digitally.

01:46:12.000 Yep.

01:46:12.000 Way harder.

01:46:13.000 It's not that it's impossible.

01:46:14.000 No, no, no.

01:46:15.000 It's like the connection is still there, but it would have been, like, anytime we have those experiences, I'm like, this would have been way better if we were all in the same place while we were doing it.

01:46:24.000 The Discord basically takes all of the audience members that are interested in becoming active participants in the news.

01:46:31.000 They join up, and now there is a central location where, while this is remote, still the point is being made.

01:46:36.000 They are now digitally in the same space, talking the whole time.

01:46:40.000 And while the show is going on, before the show, after the show, shows like Sienoski's pop-up, Quiet Part Podcast, these things emerge from those networking effects.

01:46:52.000 There's a guy right now sitting in his living room, and he's like, I'm never going to get up or do anything.

01:46:57.000 I really wish that I could make a comic book.

01:47:01.000 I have a ton of great ideas for comic book characters, but I can't draw.

01:47:04.000 Sits in his living room, that's the end of it.

01:47:06.000 One day he decides to join the TimCast Discord server.

01:47:08.000 And he does.

01:47:09.000 And then he just types in, I have this really great idea for a comic book, but I just can't draw.

01:47:13.000 A guy responds, I can draw.

01:47:15.000 Let's chat.

01:47:16.000 They move to a private message, and the guy says, what's your idea?

01:47:18.000 And he goes, here's my script.

01:47:20.000 And the guy goes, bro, I will draw this up.

01:47:22.000 A week goes by, and there's a rough outline with sketch drawings showing the whole comic, and it's like, wow.

01:47:27.000 The guy who draws says, I never could have come up with this idea.

01:47:30.000 The guy who wrote the story says, I could have never have drawn it.

01:47:33.000 That's network effect.

01:47:34.000 You have to work together.

01:47:36.000 Conference calls will never pull that off.

01:47:37.000 Sitting at home, no way.

01:47:39.000 Homie is sitting at his desk editing a video while other homie is coding. 1.00

01:47:43.000 And then some guy looks at his phone and sees a funny meme from Elon.

01:47:46.000 He turns around and goes, Yo, did you see this thing that Elon just did?

01:47:49.000 And the other guy goes, Whoa, I didn't see that.

01:47:50.000 What is that?

01:47:51.000 Then he shares with other people.

01:47:52.000 Then someone comes to me and says, Bro.

01:47:54.000 And then we're like, We should film something where we make fun of this.

01:47:57.000 Can't do that when you're working from home.

01:47:59.000 Anyway, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:48:01.000 Jason Dixon follows up saying, My previous Super Chat is from my wife.

01:48:06.000 I will also add that...

01:48:09.000 And I mean this is not as a disrespect to any woman.

01:48:11.000 I would not be surprised to find that women are the principal pushers of wanting to work from home and that women generally want to be home more than men. 1.00

01:48:20.000 Yep.

01:48:22.000 Let's go!

01:48:24.000 Steel Fang says, tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of 14 days to flatten the curve.

01:48:28.000 I'll never forget nor forgive.

01:48:32.000 Indeed.

01:48:34.000 Bill Doher says, when are y'all having Ronnie Radke on?

01:48:38.000 I mean, Ronnie Radke's great, but Ronnie Radke's a busy guy.

01:48:42.000 Too busy for you, Phil?

01:48:44.000 I mean, I'll shoot a message.

01:48:46.000 I can't make any guarantees, though.

01:48:47.000 Yeah, I always say this, because everyone's always like, why don't you get high-profile person on?

01:48:51.000 Like, what about this high-profile person?

01:48:53.000 I'm like, bro, those are all very busy people.

01:48:55.000 We do have high-profile people periodically, and I mean, no disrespect to any of our other recurring guests or anything like that.

01:49:03.000 We have...

01:49:04.000 What do we got next week?

01:49:06.000 We've got...

01:49:07.000 Brad Pitt, Bill Murray, Tom Cruise.

01:49:11.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:49:11.000 None of those.

01:49:12.000 And you brought me out today?

01:49:13.000 Come on.

01:49:14.000 It would have been the Bill Murray day for me.

01:49:16.000 I'd have been okay with that.

01:49:17.000 It would be great to get Bill Murray.

01:49:19.000 Yeah.

01:49:20.000 It would be great to get Ronnie, but, like, I mean, really, like, they're playing shows that are, like, 15,000, 20,000 people, so he's got a full plate, you know?

01:49:29.000 Beef Nasty says, talking about guns in movies, The Town, with Ben Affleck, uses a DSA SA-58 OSW carbine, a gun made by an Illinois company in Lake Barrington.

01:49:39.000 Was that, they're fantastic people, was that a component of the movie?

01:49:42.000 Was that like, they mentioned that in the film or something?

01:49:45.000 I don't think so.

01:49:46.000 That is a great movie, though.

01:49:47.000 The Town?

01:49:48.000 The Town.

01:49:48.000 One of his best.

01:49:50.000 Ah, yeah.

01:49:50.000 Also, you should go watch The Accountant, because The Accountant 2 is coming out soon.

01:49:54.000 Yes.

01:49:54.000 Oh, yeah.

01:49:54.000 Which is going to be freaking awesome.

01:49:56.000 Ben Affleck's great.

01:49:57.000 I think his best work might have been...

01:49:59.000 Daredevil.

01:49:59.000 Yes.

01:50:01.000 2003. Well, no.

01:50:03.000 If you really want to meme, you say Gigli.

01:50:06.000 Have you been watching Born Again?

01:50:07.000 Yes.

01:50:08.000 It's not.

01:50:08.000 I'm upset.

01:50:09.000 That's already boring.

01:50:11.000 Well, I got really excited for episode two after Daredevil messes up those bad guys.

01:50:17.000 Not to spoilers.

01:50:18.000 And then I was expecting...

01:50:20.000 I was like, whoa, he's in trouble now.

01:50:22.000 How will this resolve?

01:50:23.000 Courtroom drama for episode three.

01:50:24.000 No, it just didn't.

01:50:25.000 It just didn't resolve.

01:50:27.000 The episode just starts, and I was like, wait, no, this can't be.

01:50:30.000 Our superhero was in the midst of battle, and then the next episode is just, nah, there's none.

01:50:34.000 The actor who plays White Tiger died in 2023, so those episodes were filmed alone.

01:50:41.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:50:41.000 Died of cancer in 2023. How long ago did they film this? 0.71

01:50:45.000 So episode two was done by the original showrunners, Chris Ord and Matt Corman.

01:50:53.000 Three years ago?

01:50:54.000 At least, yeah.

01:50:54.000 I mean, everything else after that's supposed to be done by the new showrunner, but all the stuff with White Tiger was done.

01:51:00.000 So wait, this whole show is actually like three years old?

01:51:02.000 I mean, those first couple of episodes are, but everything after that was done.

01:51:07.000 So you're saying in the next episode that comes out, Daredevil's gonna be like three years older and he's gonna have gray hair and be fat?

01:51:12.000 Probably.

01:51:13.000 And he's going to be like, nothing changed.

01:51:14.000 Well, what happened was they shot six episodes. 0.98

01:51:19.000 They brought it to Disney, and Disney's like, this is garbage. 0.92

01:51:22.000 We have to change course. 0.91

01:51:24.000 And they changed course and created Born Again.

01:51:26.000 The showrunners of the initial six episodes were like...

01:51:30.000 Half comedy, half drama guys.

01:51:32.000 They did the show Covert Affairs, and then they fired them and brought on the guy who's doing it currently.

01:51:37.000 So they went through major rewrites, but most of episode two...

01:51:40.000 You'll notice episode two had a vastly different feel than episode one.

01:51:43.000 It's because it was.

01:51:45.000 Chris White says, Tim, you talk about the Bible often enough.

01:51:47.000 I think you should have someone on to discuss the accuracy of it.

01:51:50.000 An excellent source of this would be Cliff Nettle.

01:51:54.000 Is that how you pronounce it?

01:51:54.000 You would really enjoy the talk with him on The Culture War.

01:51:58.000 We would.

01:51:59.000 That would be fun.

01:52:00.000 Let's go.

01:52:02.000 Is the goal of the Bible to be actually accurate, or is it more to kind of give people a map for how to live?

01:52:09.000 You guys are trying to spark a real conversation.

01:52:11.000 You've got to ask a theologian, Phil, because I don't know if we have anyone here.

01:52:14.000 Where's Mary when we need her? 0.53

01:52:15.000 All right, King Dave III says, Hey, Timcast, long-time listener here.

01:52:19.000 I'm a single dad of twin seven-year-olds on dialysis.

01:52:22.000 Our well ran dry and everything would help, or our give-send-go is Turpin Well Fund.

01:52:29.000 Love you guys.

01:52:30.000 That's T-U-R-P-I-N. Wellfund. 0.60

01:52:33.000 Best of luck.

01:52:34.000 I'm sorry to hear it.

01:52:35.000 I hope everything works out for you.

01:52:37.000 The Clayway says, is Pam Bondi over 40?

01:52:40.000 You know Trump likes blondes. 0.99

01:52:43.000 When Pam Bondi walked out with Trump at the DOJ, you saw this?

01:52:46.000 When she was walking to do the press conference or whatever?

01:52:48.000 I looked to Allison and I was like, she's 60. And she went, what?

01:52:53.000 Ridiculous. 0.98

01:52:54.000 I'm like, Pam Bondi is 60. Is she 59? 0.97

01:52:56.000 Something like that.

01:52:58.000 It's 59 or 60, and she looks incredible for that age.

01:53:04.000 She's 59. We were talking about Gwen Stefani because she's into hot water for reposting a Tucker Carlson interview with Jonathan Rumi recently, and she's 55. No doubt it was that long ago.

01:53:15.000 I'm not a big fan of Gwen Stefani.

01:53:18.000 But nothing personal, it's just her music doesn't really...

01:53:20.000 No.

01:53:21.000 I like, what was it, Return of Saturn?

01:53:23.000 I don't know.

01:53:25.000 The song New I like, but what I don't like is too much of her vocal...

01:53:31.000 I'm not a fan.

01:53:32.000 But, based, she is...

01:53:35.000 Didn't she do a Hallow ad? 0.95

01:53:36.000 Yeah, and the fact that they didn't make a Hallow Batgirl ad is criminal.

01:53:41.000 You guys are leaving money on the table.

01:53:44.000 I don't know.

01:53:45.000 They probably thought about it and then they were like, we will lose so much money.

01:53:49.000 But she reposted an interview with Jonathan Rumi with Tucker Carlson and a bunch of normies were like, you're a Nazi!

01:53:56.000 But she's Catholic, isn't she?

01:53:57.000 Yes, she is.

01:53:58.000 No, she's a Christian.

01:53:59.000 I don't think she's denominally Catholic.

01:54:01.000 Ah, okay.

01:54:03.000 Alright, what do we have?

01:54:06.000 What does this say?

01:54:09.000 Scrapjaw says, Noski's beard grants advantage roll to wisdom to anyone who inquires.

01:54:14.000 Thank you, Tim, for supporting the content creators of the Discord community.

01:54:17.000 Indeed.

01:54:17.000 Because I mean it when I say, if we are going to win a culture war, we can't just have Steven Crowder, Tim Pool, and people over here.

01:54:26.000 The Discord server is to take that audience and connect them all so that you create a neural network of culture and ideas and creativity.

01:54:36.000 And then, of course, through TimCast, we promote them and shout them out and try.

01:54:41.000 And that's why the Culture War is going to have a live component with members of the Discord.

01:54:45.000 So we can do this once a week and actually have...

01:54:48.000 It's going to get crazy.

01:54:50.000 I mean, honestly, I'd like to come out and be in the audience to take part in that sometime.

01:54:54.000 Absolutely.

01:54:56.000 Anytime. 0.79

01:54:57.000 And I imagine sometimes we're going to get some crazy people. 0.78

01:55:00.000 We do have a lot of crazy people in your Discord, Tim. 0.96

01:55:03.000 They exist, and they're allowed to be crazy.

01:55:07.000 I always say the problem with Twitter, when they were censoring everybody, was that they said, you can't post this thing because it's wrong, or YouTube. 1.00

01:55:14.000 And I'm like, the problem is, you're basically saying you're not allowed to be stupid. 1.00

01:55:19.000 Like, if the argument from YouTube is, you're posting misinformation, it's like, you are telling stupid people they aren't allowed to talk about their stupid ideas. 1.00

01:55:28.000 I'm not okay with that. 1.00

01:55:29.000 I don't like that people are stupid. 1.00

01:55:32.000 I want them to not be stupid anymore. 1.00

01:55:34.000 But you as a human being have a right to express your ideas because it is only the stupidest person who thinks they're smarter than everybody. 1.00

01:55:41.000 YouTube. 1.00

01:55:42.000 Yeah, but see, I actually want the stupid people to post their opinions more and more. 1.00

01:55:47.000 Because then it gets out there further, and then everyone else knows they're stupid. 1.00

01:55:51.000 I don't have to call him out. 0.97

01:55:52.000 Anthony T. Schrodt says, hey, Tim, your alternate version of Harry Potter is similar to the plot of season one of Avatar.

01:55:58.000 Legend of Korra group says benders are keeping them down while the leader is secretly a waterbender. 1.00

01:56:04.000 For those that don't know, the other day I was saying that J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter was basically magic Hitler. 0.84

01:56:10.000 It's like the wizard who says, only pure blood wizards. 0.96

01:56:15.000 And then it's like, we get it, you're a white supremacist. 0.80

01:56:18.000 But she needs to do communism now. 1.00

01:56:20.000 Because fascism's been done.

01:56:22.000 Nazism's been done. 0.67

01:56:23.000 So she needs to do a series where non-magic people develop technology, and of course governments know about it, and they just like airdrop into Hogwarts during the sorting ceremony with guns, start blasting the professors. 0.83

01:56:35.000 Bang! 1.00

01:56:36.000 Bang! 1.00

01:56:36.000 The professors can't do anything. 1.00

01:56:38.000 And then they're like casting magic against the guys, these soldiers, these troops, but the magic just bounces off their technology, you see?

01:56:46.000 And then what happens is...

01:56:47.000 It's led by private military contractors working with governments where he's like, they have people who have magic powers who have teamed up with them to give them advanced tech combined with magic under the ideology that there are people with magic and those without is oppression.

01:57:05.000 And the magic people oppress the unmagicked people. 1.00

01:57:08.000 And then the villain is trying to eliminate magic people from the planet.

01:57:11.000 Well, so I read about it in Hogwarts history.

01:57:14.000 I'm a Harry Potter nerd.

01:57:17.000 Technology does not work at Hogwarts the way it would actually work anywhere else.

01:57:21.000 And so what happens is, in my storyline, is that several witches and wizards team up with various governments and through research and technology combine modern tech with magic to surpass the protections of Hogwarts to defend themselves against magic.

01:57:38.000 Well, because the nature of magic in Harry Potter indicates that there is a logic component to it.

01:57:45.000 The energy put into it, to do the Patronus, you must think of something happy and then shite the charm or whatever, and the thing happens, means there is a if-this-then-that to it, meaning it can be researched and exploited.

01:57:57.000 The Patronus is actually how we got furries, Tim.

01:58:01.000 Indeed.

01:58:02.000 Making deeter from their wounds.

01:58:03.000 They do make the government ultra-sensorious in those books, though.

01:58:06.000 Indeed.

01:58:07.000 But the reference the person's making is that in The Legend of Korra, benders are people who can manipulate elements, so some people can do water, fire, air, earth.

01:58:15.000 And there's people who think no one should be able to do it because they oppress those who don't.

01:58:20.000 They can take jobs that pay more money because they have advantages over other people.

01:58:24.000 And so this dude, he can grab their forehead and then take away their abilities.

01:58:27.000 But it turns out he had powers the whole time.

01:58:31.000 That's communist for you.

01:58:33.000 What do we got here?

01:58:34.000 Let's grab some more of these.

01:58:36.000 What do we have here from Sydney?

01:58:39.000 MAK says, hello from Sydney, Australia.

01:58:41.000 It's midday on Saturday the 15th of March from the future.

01:58:44.000 Love the work you and your team are doing for the culture shift.

01:58:47.000 Thank you very much.

01:58:47.000 Sick.

01:58:49.000 Best of luck out there under your totalitarian regime. 0.99

01:58:53.000 Indeed.

01:58:55.000 Okay, where are we at?

01:58:57.000 James Jones says, for the standard XKCD strip, Google Little Bobby Tables.

01:59:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:59:05.000 That's funny.

01:59:06.000 That's how you understand a SQL injection.

01:59:13.000 So it's, uh, here's the comic.

01:59:17.000 Hi, this is your school, uh, this is your son's school.

01:59:19.000 We're having some computer trouble.

01:59:20.000 Oh dear, did he break something?

01:59:22.000 In a way.

01:59:22.000 Did you really name your son Robert, apostrophe, parentheses, semicolon, drop table students, colon, dash, dash, question mark.

01:59:31.000 Oh yes, little Bobby Tables, we call him.

01:59:33.000 Well, we've lost this year's student records.

01:59:35.000 I hope you're happy.

01:59:36.000 I hope you've learned to sanitize your database inputs.

01:59:40.000 Very esoteric humor.

01:59:41.000 I love it.

01:59:43.000 The other really great thing from XKCD is cytogenesis.

01:59:46.000 You guys know that one?

01:59:49.000 Cytogenesis?

01:59:49.000 Yeah.

01:59:50.000 Cytogenesis?

01:59:52.000 Let me show you.

01:59:55.000 Cytogenesis step one.

01:59:57.000 Through a convoluted process, a user's brain generates facts that are typed into Wikipedia.

02:00:01.000 The scroll lock key was designed by future energy secretary Stephen Chu in a college project.

02:00:06.000 A rushed writer checks Wikipedia for a summary of their subject.

02:00:10.000 U.S. Energy Secretary Stephen Chu, Nobel Prize winner and creator of the ubiquitous scroll lock key, testified before Congress today.

02:00:17.000 Surprised readers check Wikipedia, see the claim and flag it for review.

02:00:21.000 A passing editor finds the piece and adds it as a citation.

02:00:25.000 Google is your friend, people.

02:00:27.000 Now that other writers have a real source, they repeat the fact.

02:00:31.000 So this literally happens.

02:00:34.000 This is the state of media based on blogging and it's psychotic.

02:00:39.000 And we're worse off for it.

02:00:41.000 My friends, would you please smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know?
